in Boston and working for an electronics giant, a competitor
to Sony and Panasonic. He's a witty, charismatic guy who's

necessary to move up the corporate ladder. To the chagrin of
his ambitious wife, it looks as if his career has hit a
ceiling. Jasons been sidelined.
But all that will change one evening when Jason
meets Kurt Semko, a former Special Forces officer just back
from Iraq. Looking for a decent pitcher for the company
softball team, Jason gets Kurt, who was once drafted by the
majors, a job in Corporate Security. Soon, good things start
to happen for Jason -- and bad things start to happen to
Jason's rivals. His career suddenly takes off. He's an
overnight success.
Only too late does Jason discover that his friend Kurt has
been secretly paving his path to the top by the most
"efficient" -- and ruthless -- means available. After all,
Kurt says, "Business is war, right?"
But when Jason tries to put a stop to it, he finds that his
new best friend has become the most dangerous enemy
imaginable. And now it's far more than just his career that
lies in the balance.
