A tightly wound, uncomfortable plunge into workplace paranoia that keeps you squirming and second-guessing every glance.

How it feels: Tense, dark, cynical and melancholic. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Obsession, isolation, betrayal, power
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
