Desperate to climb the corporate ladder Andrew works tirelessly to launch B-Lean International Food & Milling's revolutionary new weight-loss product. But when a colleague leaves him a cryptic voicemail just minutes before her tragic death Andrew starts asking questions that lead him down a deadly trail of corporate deceit. As the death toll rises Andrew realizes he's the next target and he goes on the run to uncover the truth and save his family.
