Storyline
When Jack, a hard-nosed boss, confronts his employees over missing company funds, tensions rise and accusations fly. But as the employees dig deeper, they uncover a shocking secret: Jack himself has been siphoning company funds to indulge in a bizarre and revolting obsession—buying and hoarding used women's socks. Soon, the employees turn the tables, threatening to expose Jack's twisted secret unless he reinstates their jobs and meets their demands.
