I am a middle man. That is why they are dead. Meet Jack Chap, middle man extraordinaire, by both trade and temperament. He's a nice guy. Everybody says so. His secretary, his friends, his colleagues. He couldn't have committed brutal murder in his office. Could he? A financial professional who strives for an ordered life personally and professionally, Jack Chap lives in the middle. No matter the circumstances, Jack will try to find the middle ground. He is not a boat-rocker. He is not argumentative. He is not opinionated. What happens when this reasonable, principled man in the middle is pushed beyond the limits of his dearly-held center? You'd think unraveling begins at the edges. But in this case, it just may have started in the middle.
