Unsuccessful, that is, until now. When literary agents Messrs Sykes and Oliver receive John's latest unsolicited script, they realise they possess a diamond in the rough. With a quick rewrite there could be big bucks in it for all. Naturally John is thrilled. He has only to quit his dishwashing job and focus on the second draft.
This is not as easy as it sounds.
Lurking in the restaurant's basement is the Chef, lord of the kitchen and quite possibly psychotic. Upstairs, the two Managers - stony eyed, suited and entirely humourless.

He is quite simply the best dishwasher they have ever had - and they are not about to let him leave.
Alternately savaged, intimidated, threatened and wooed, John's experience in the restaurant's underbelly becomes increasingly nightmarish and bizarre as he is caught up in a whirlwind of torture, guns, dead meat and dishes.
