There is money to be made listening in to lunch-time business conversations... Two friends and business school colleagues ride out the recession working for a popular downtown Toronto restaurant, the Tobacco Road. Their economic prospects fall well short of personal aspirations, until they begin eavesdropping on the business lunch gossip of the captains of Canadian industry. Speculating on this information proves so profitable that it attracts the attention of the Ontario Securities Commission, who suspect them of insider trading. Trapped in a modern day indenture to the Crown, their journey becomes a high octane, suspense filled business thriller. Each twist and turn hurls them into conflict with increasingly dangerous elements of the financial underworld.
