The Phone in the Fishbowl

Blake Seever is really trying this time. After nearly destroying his life (and the lives of those around him) with his heroin addiction, he's completed a treatment program and is now working a steady square gig at Telesolutions, a cold-calling firm that offers everything from cosmetics to green vending options. This should be the most boring part of recovery, slowly acclimating back to a normal life, a normal job with normal hours. But when one phone call goes awry, Blake finds himself in a struggle with the man on the other end of the line that may prove fatal. The Phone in the Fishbowl is a postmodern tale of a duel to reclaim lost honor, with shades of everything from Arthur Schnitzler's Lieutenant Gustl to Mike Judge's Office Space.
