The amoral world of a handful of Wall Street businessmen is delineated in this
black comedy written by
Lemony Snicket creator
Daniel Handler.
Rick takes as its central character a mid-level manager (
Bill Pullman) working in a nameless corporation for a boss,
Duke (
Aaron Stanford), who's nearly half his age.
Duke and
Rick are constantly one-upping each other around the office; compounding their contentious relationship is the fact that
Duke is pursuing
Rick's daughter,
Eve (
Agnes Bruckner), a teenager who frequents Internet sex-chat rooms.
Rick thinks he has found the solution to his work problems in
Buck (
Dylan Baker), an old college buddy who's become a paid hitman; for a fee, he'll take care of anyone who comes between
Rick and his climb up the corporate ladder. But when a jilted job interviewee (
Sandra Oh) puts a hex on
Rick, it seems his good fortune may come to an end.
