Harold Melling is the most successful knife salesman for the prestigious OneCut Company but after years in the game he is still looking for a promotion up to management. When his boss tells him he is too valuable in sales and can't move up until he can find someone to duplicate his numbers he recruits Trent Desmond a sharp young actor with tons of natural talent. While the two triumphantly rule the sales department for a short time the arrangement soon gets dicey (literally) when both men are given an equal shot to compete for the promotion Harold assumed would be his.
