A slightly spoofy omniscient narrator introduces us to Jenner, Inc., a stove manufacturing plant in a fictional middle Tennessee town, some of its personnel, and the sociology of the roughly 100 employees. The factory is owned by a large Chicago holding company, which has recently installed an aloof CEO and his austere and ominous executive assistant. Everybody fears them, and resents their probably exorbitant salaries, their lax work schedule, and their exclusive grip on all communications with the Chicago home office. Profits are down and budgets are very tight. Nobody feels confident in the plant’s future or secure in their jobs. Ultimately, Marion, the plant manager’s efficient office manager, overcomes her high personal standards and conspires with the plant network nerd and a bitter and unstable ex-salesman to expose what is really going on in a struggle to save Jenner, Inc.
