ABSTRACT:
Fact: number 1 - The average Brit spends 11 and a half years of their life at work. Fact number 2 - There were half a million work-related stress cases in the last year. Paula, Anna, Amira, Charlie, Ewan and Phoebe have worked together in the same recruitment office for some time. They think they know each other pretty well - the one who leaves dirty cups in the sink; the one who always jams the photocopier (and walks away); the one who stalks for hours on other people's Facebook page. They know each other's partner, their work commute, their college history. What they don't know is that one of them has a horrible childhood secret - a secret so traumatic that it is buried deep in the depths of their subconcious. It only takes the right kind of trigger for their disturbed behaviour to emerge. A trigger like a new manager- one who likes power games and politics. When bullying boss Rachel Masters arrives, a cycle of nasty things start to happen. Only then do they realise they are all in danger. But which one of them is it?
