A Swedish IT-company gets a new boss, who turns out to be a soulless hatchet man in Schildt’s dark satire on the evils of the corporate world. He’s opposed by Daniel, one of his employees, and eventually comes crashing down, impaled on his own hubris. So Daniel gets given the poisoned chalice of leadership in his place, just to end up as amoral and platitudinous as the man and values he initially stood up against.
