But Foster is determined to rise to the top while taking on a whole new persona as Carlton Witfield, learning his way around the mail room and keeping up to date on the company news.

Meanwhile his attention is focused on the beautiful Christy Wills, one of the corporate employees and mistress of Prescot.

The question is, can he handle it all and solve each problem?
