In a small hotel room on the 26th floor of the Holiday Inn in downtown Wichita, Kansas, Phil (Don Deveux), Larry (Patrick Collins) and Bob (Mark Shonsey), three representatives of an industrial lubricants firm prepare to host a convention hospitality suite. Larry and Phil have a singular hope for the evening -- to make the acquaintance of the CEO of one of the largest manufacturing firms in the Midwest and, as such, a potential savior of their ailing company... a man whom they invited but have never met or seen. As the evenings events continue they cut through the veneer of their relationships and expose their true feeling. The gloves come off, and no one is left unscathed.
