In the film, Steve Robinson plays Ron Trosper, a recently promoted employee at Fisher Robay, a company that builds shopping malls (their slogan is: ‘Integrating Mother Nature With Centers of Commerce’). The story kicks off with a typical Robinson character moment: a public embarrassment. Ron gives a presentation for a new project in Canton, Ohio, and while he tries to be inspiring, things don’t go as planned, leading to a slightly awkward moment in front of his coworkers and boss, Jeff (Lou Diamond Phillips). Most people would brush it off, but Ron fixates on it. This embarrassment quickly spirals into an obsession, and he becomes convinced it’s part of something bigger. He starts investigating, and surprisingly, his paranoia seems to be confirmed, leading him down a strange path of questionable situations and false clues, all while his personal life begins to fall apart.
