Description

Jim Haskin is a 40-year-old man worth around £35 million. He runs his own San Francisco ad firm, American Weather, with an image that's green and forward-looking - if your product is upcycled, hydro or vegan, they'll make you an ad. Behind the scenes, Jim supports old captains of American industry, such as bleach, beer and guns. One day, Jim is asked to come up with something extra-special. He devises a scheme that brings together a Death Row inmate, pay-per-view television, and most of America's largest corporations. This plan sets the stage for his greatest achievement yet. The result is a complex and ambitious project that combines unlikely elements in unexpected ways.
