Lost in a sea of boring suits and dull dinner dates, ROBERT finds his evening threatened by his childhood friend MICKY. A disgruntled pot washer, Micky is shocked to find Robert has ‘sold out’ his heritage to climb the greasy pole. Seeking revenge, he slips something untoward into the soup. Robert struggles to both keep his rich date, HEATHER, happy and not reveal that his new image is but an illusion.
