A Confederacy of Mooks

"Hell is other people."
Jean-Paul Sartre

Adult star Sheba Darling, the Marilyn look-alike, addicted to coke, pills and booze is spinning out of control and making life for Soupy, the mail-order smut company owner (as well as her handlers there at the warehouse) a living hell, just as they themselves have a tendency to do to others, namely our intrepid shipping clerk Chance "Cash" Register, who's managed to endure the gig long enough at this point to see his book edited/formatted and printed.

Only he's in the red now, deep in debt, broke. Can he last long enough to launch the blue-collar short story anthology and create the needed momentum to see his dream soar (and possibly liberate himself from this dead-end/low-wage hell hole)or watch it sink like a stone because the job situation makes it impossible?

It's a work environment rife with out-of-control psychotic types who should've been committed years agojust as Register feels he's headed there himselfunless he can summon the brass to walk out and salvage what remains of his dwindling sanity.
