Produktbeschreibung
Ben knows your house is empty. And that's not all. He knows his partner's left him for a man with chunks of pop-tart in his hair; he knows his boss has been fired; and his use of controlled substances is no longer under control. He knows his biggest customer is putting her business with the competition, writing off Ben, and the newspaper he works for, as irrelevant. He knows there's a general election which is boring everyone - including him. Now he must use what he knows to get his life back on track: win back the deal, the girl, the promotion, and maybe even the election. Trouble is, Ben needs the support of some unreliable characters - most of whom work for the tabloid press - and a psychotic cat. Funny, outrageous and poignant, Empty is a darkly satirical look at the advertising sales industry at the start of the 21st century, when the illusion of power still suckered young, overpaid, self-obsessed hedonists into thinking they made a difference, when, in fact, the lives they led were just like the space they sold: empty.
