Evan is an overworked employee at a large, soulless corporation, hoping for a promotion to finally give his job meaning and possibly win back his ex-girlfriend Amanda, who also works at the company. His life is a tedious blend of office monotony and unfulfilled dreams until the arrival of a new hire, Max. Max is charismatic, smart, and quickly becomes the favorite of the company's management, much to Evan's dismay. This new competitor not only threatens Evan's career aspirations but also begins to charm Amanda, pushing Evan further to the sidelines.

As Evan grapples with his professional failures and personal heartaches, employees at the company start to behave strangely, displaying an unusual level of enthusiasm for their mundane jobs. This odd behavior coincides with a series of eerily efficient changes in the office, spearheaded by Max. Evan begins to suspect that there is something sinister behind Max’s sudden success and the bizarre shift in his coworkers' demeanors. His investigation reveals a shocking secret that threatens not just his career ambitions, but the lives of all his colleagues. Resolved to confront this newfound evil, Evan finds himself in the midst of a fight far beyond the corporate ladder's rungs, where survival becomes the new objective.
