Bob Maconel (Slater) is an office drone who fantasizes about killing his co-workers with the gun he keeps in his desk. One day, after loading his gun and dropping a bullet, Maconel hears gunshots being fired; he man in the cubicle beside him, Ralf Coleman, has apparently gone postal. After a brief conversation, Maconel guns down Coleman and becomes a hero, also saving the life of Venessa (Cuthbert), although she is rendered quadriplegic by the bullet that hit her. Even as Maconel is hailed as a hero, gets promoted to upper management by his boss (Macy), and slowly wins over Venessa, he can't help but feel out of place in this world.
