What happens when the greatest invention of all time is developed by employees of the world's most incompetent company?

SYNOPSIS

Three scientists working for a large, dysfunctional corporation engineer a workable version of cold fusion, a potentially endless source of cheap, clean energy. As they struggle to convince corporate management of the significance of what they've made, their efforts are undercut by incompetent executives and office staff, and a bumbling, self-destructive industrial spy. With the entire corporate mind focused on office politics and get-rich-quick schemes, the office setting is a fast-paced farce of comic turbulence that keeps the greatest invention in danger of never seeing the light of day.

The likable scientists are offset by a cast of dysfunctional corporate characters-including Arli Summerset, the albino CEO; Helga Hitler, the commanding office administrator; and Nunzio Terrocci, the company's unofficial Godfather. The scientists find support in the compassionate wisdom of Edgar "Pops" Mattcheck, a wily company long-timer who has seen it all and who helps them piece together a plan for redemption.

With management hatching plans for a financial takeover to reap billions at the expense of the employees, the battle is drawn. Our three scientists hack their way through the corporate jungle, encountering all sorts of buffoonery along the way. The story culminates with the scientists finding an unexpected solution to their dilemma.
