Madison Avenue art director Will Hennessey would rather be a serious painter than an adman. But his demanding boss Zoe pooh-poohs his plans to quit and assigns him to jazz up a new toilet-paper line.

Will may not be up to the task when Zoe's corporate edict about downsizing leaves him with only one of his former team.

Zoe's secretary picks a bad day to have an accident: Zoe is in the middle of a baby sitter crisis while preparing for a pitch with George Wendt.

Zoe forces nice guy Will to be brutally honest in his employee evaluations, which nearly results in a mutiny of his staff—and the loss of three friends.
