Follow Emmet on his journey from unemployed sponger to crack insurance consultant and committed fraudster. An irreverent journey through the trials and tribulations of young love set at the turn of the century, when normal people were allowed to have money and billionaires didn't own everything. Emmet Storch was an unemployed sponger who thought he had no calling in life. All that changed when he landed a job in the call center at the monolithic Star Insurance where, from the very first day, he was magnificent. It was as if the very essence of insurance ran through his veins and he and his telephone were as one. Irate policyholders found comfort in his soothing words; recalcitrant contractors became polite and respectful. It would have been perfect if not for his lecherous and treacherous hormones.
