It’s Monday morning. Dave Bourning, a despondent employee at the Department of Instruments and Measurements (DIM) is believed to have jumped off the rooftop of a tall office building. Within an hour, his obviously distraught and saddened colleagues proceed to raid his office and pick it clean, including his collection of over one hundred fish figurines. The fallout from this brings out the best and worst of his fellow workers.
