—the plot
Every so often, someone conducts a survey to determine the least
respected professions. Way up there, along with
politicians, used car salesmen, lawyers and pimps,
you’ll find…advertising!
Still, it’s a long jump from fudging the
truth about a product of dubious value to being called a
“murderer!” Yet that’s exactly what a mysterious email
accuses our hero, adman Ben Shilling, of being.
On our way to discovering what that email is
all about, we enter Ben’s world of crazy clients,
offbeat creative people, and a host of other memorable
characters, including: Ben’s girlfriend, Jill, who
valiantly tries to understand Ben’s much too close
relationship with single malt scotch; Ben’s partner
Karl, who once dreamed of being another Wolf Blitzer;
Still Life, the world’s most indolent cat; and Edwina, a
sexy evangelist out to save an obese world by combining
spiritual love with weight control!
