A broke gig worker moonlights as a corporate spy, hunting remote workers across London for productivity crimes. But when a routine audit goes wrong, he must decide how far he’ll go to stay employable.
Bento Moura is a man out of options. Broke, exhausted and under pressure from his estranged family, he takes covert work for a shadowy compliance firm spying on London’s remote workforce. Armed with a Prius and a long lens, Bento hunts for “productivity crimes”: an ad creative skipping agency calls, a project manager dancing in his underwear and a coder choosing the gym over a client status meeting. But as he sinks deeper into the absurdity of corporate surveillance, a routine audit pushes him from casual stalking to breaking into a worker’s home and forces him to decide how far he is willing to go to remain employable.
