Aprašymas

When Sutherland Bio buys up the little bio research firm Human Resources specialist Angela McCormack works for, she tries to adapt. Even though her shady new boss's smarminess and sexism makes her stomach turn. She sticks it out through the verbal abuse, and through the benefit cuts and layoffs.

But when her boss, George Sutherland Jr., tasks her to recruit replacements for the people he laid off-and lets it slip that the layoffs were just part of a regime change strategy-she's ready to throw in the towel. As much as she hates the idea of shoveling manure again, she'd rather return to her family's farm and petting zoo than stay with Sutherland Bio.

Then George Jr. takes a particularly bad day out on her. And Angela decides she's tired of the humiliation. She's going to fight fire with fire. She makes it her mission to fill George Jr.'s team with the worst possible candidates she can find.

But she didn't take into account falling for one of the new hires. All of a sudden, she's not sure she wants to leave. Not yet.

And that's just the first chicken to come home to roost. Little does she know, George has plenty of secrets of his own. And when one of them turns deadly, Angela will have to rely on her handpicked sabotage crew for survival. She might just wish she was back home shoveling manure after all.
