Few people would consider the department store business to be a dangerous profession. It's 1979, Jimmy Carter is president, and Rosenbloom &Starr is the department store where Tom "Crash" Crandall has worked his way up to become floor manager at the flagship store where the wives of congressmen, senators, and power brokers shop. It's the busiest time of the year and he knows something is terribly wrong with the way the goods are flowing--or to put it another way, not flowing--into his department. Crash has no idea the problem was caused a hostile takeover attempt by a villainous rival that has been swallowing up other chains across the country. They stop at nothing to accomplish the takeover, including brutal attacks and grisly murders. The vicious dealings are tied to an international crime syndicate that has infiltrated our own government. Crash is thrust into the fray simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
