It has not been a good year at the offices of Erasmus, Proffett and Rusk.
On top of a slew of advertising account losses, they learn that their biggest, most high profile and longest standing client suddenly requires them to pitch for business they have held for over 50 years.
To make matters worse, three agency personnel are questioned by police following a serious incident in the gents’ toilets at the local pub.
Suspicions are further raised by a mysterious explosion below the executive washroom, resulting in the death of a sewerage technician and the hospitalisation of a Marketing Manager.
With days to go to the pitch, with the longest agency/client relationship in British advertising history on the line, with a Detective Inspector nursing a big hunch and a Marketing Manager a sore backside and an even bigger grudge, the cigar haze at the annual Arrow Awards for Creative Excellence is insufficient to cloak seething passions, and murder is in the air.
