Jefferson City, Missouri: Joseph Randolph, a VIP in a fictional electronics company, has just gotten the sack.

Then he turns himself in and is eventually put in a psychiatric hospital by the police.

She joins with a visiting reporter from Chicago and another interested man, and all three start digging deeper into the company's history.
