A Shock to the System
Graham Marshall, a ruthless executive at a London oil company, is passed over for promotion in favor of a younger colleague. What begins as a fatal confrontation with a homeless man on the street spirals into a series of calculated murders as Graham's ambition curdles into something far more dangerous. As he eliminates those he believes stand in his way, the line between predator and victim blurs, and the plot twists toward a final, ironic reversal.
