Expecting a fulfilling career, he instead finds himself embroiled in a world of corrupt union bosses, exploitative management, and ruthless Cold War profiteering. Stanley's attempts to maintain his integrity and understand the bizarre goings-on only lead him deeper into the absurd and often dangerous machinations of the industrial complex.
