Michael Bellicher is working for a successful consultancy agency and has everything going for him. During a night spent at work, he witnesses something that he should never have seen. Michael has to flee to try and escape a powerful system behind the operation in which he accidentally gets trapped. But with every step he takes, he is followed by the mysterious Mr. Miller, who seems to know almost everything about him. In a sparkling and exhilarating fast paced style, Den Tex creates a scarily timely universe ruled by espionage-like computer techniques, full of managers, mergers, and opaque negotiations, and with that a new genre: the corporate thriller.
