Storyline
Kindhearted Dan works as a telemarketer at a broadband internet company where he is constantly overshadowed by his insufferable coworker, Mike, and belittled by his heartless father and boss, Terry. While cleaning out the office trash, he stumbles upon an ancient Babylonian idol after being shown visions while touching it, he decides to take it home, upon taking it home he unwittingly releases a demon, Zabuthu, that promises to help him excel at his job and earn the respect he deserves. Using Zabuthu’s horrific powers, Dan finally achieves the success and recognition he’s always wanted, but in the process loses his humanity and turns Mike’s brain to jelly, then picks up his phone and continues along his dark ascension up the corporate ladder by selling more internet.
