Life in the corporate world can be murder. At Mrs. Appleby's Cookie Company, some people are dying to get ahead. Peter Derns (Timothy Hutton), a junior exec at the firm, is afraid his future prospects are crumbling faster that the product he markets. Hope appears in the curvaceous form of Kris Bolin (Lara Flynn Boyle), his new temp. Gorgeous, bright and efficient, Kris helps Peter develop a deliciously successful marketing campaign. But after two executives meet mysterious deaths, Peter fears his job security may end--permanently. His suspicions fall on three people: Charlene Towne (Faye Dunaway), the company's ruthless president; best friend and rival Brad Montroe (Steven Weber) and the one person he needs to trust: his temp.

Editor's Note
Peter Derns (Timothy Hutton), a recently divorced junior executive at a successful cookie company, decides to hire a temp when things at the office get too hairy. Enter Kris (Lara Flynn Boyle), the new secretary who seems to do no wrong. Peter is extremely grateful when Kris rescues him from some potential office disasters, but he begins to feel that he's in danger when it appears that her fierce loyalty to him is leading her to do away with some of his superiors in strangely bloody fashion. This dark satire veers recklessly between nasty horror and knowing office comedy, doling out laughs and shocks in equal measure.

So when several top executives begin taking PERMANENT lunch breaks, Peter begins to suspect that Kris is behind the murders. But is she really the killer?
