Aprašymas

Matthew Verreaux is a frazzled associate in the London office of an international law firm. A nightmarish deal has left him disillusioned, cynical, and embittered. The never-ending hours of dedication to a job that offers him so little professional fulfillment drives him out of the office building and right over the edge-into a chasm of unemployment during what quickly becomes the 2008 collapse of the world economy.

With a romantic break-up following quickly on the heels of the loss of his career, Matthew is forced to start over-and he soon finds out just how hard that can be, in a city in the throes of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. He is forced to take a boring, pedestrian job with the Standards Supervision Team at cable television watchdog Ofcable, but what at first seems like a worse alternative to an already terrible professional life ends up presenting unexpected circumstances that offer new purpose, romance, friendship, and the self-reinvention he'd been hoping for.

Through the dark clouds of financial disaster, fear, and desperation, Watchdog shines with satirical humor, love and truth in the way only a credit crunch fairytale could.
