## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A mid-tier exec reinvents himself as industrial whistleblower while still chasing promotions. He leaks corporate price-fixing to the FBI, convinced history will treat him like a folk antihero. The performance style suggests it can’t decide if it’s satire or confession booth.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, playful
