Cute concept. Agree with previous comments on the clunky dialog.

And hilarious that it’s an anti-aging ad at the bottom.

Bob wrote “There’s a huge improbability in the idea that companies can simply ignore contracts executed by their predecessors”.

No, there isn’t; it happens all the time. Basically, only their predecessors owed it. Either the new company is offering a new contract to people it has details for, or the old contracts had clauses allowing variation (they often allow some, just for flexibility as availability of resources changes) – or people who want the old contracts can indeed insist on them, but only to the old company (which may not even be around any more). If they ask the new company for the old deal, there’s room to negotiate (if it wants their business), but most likely they’ll get a permitted variation or even have to walk away, maybe even paying an early exit fee for not accepting a reasonable variation.

I agree that the concept is great, but the dialogue, characters and tension are a little wanting.
