For powerful businessmen Veneer and Boular, it's the little things in life: keeping your office at such a high altitude that birds suffocate, biting the head off a snake in the morning, daydreaming about doing away with the public altogether. 

Just another day of deal-making that becomes a monstrous dance for two and a sharp satire of the corporations that run the world.
