Terrence is a monotone salesman who spends his days making random calls to random people to sell them random products. He longs for more out of life and decides he won't die a lowly telemarketer.
Fritz is a glorified peon tasked with running the most menial of errands and chores. He insists that he is an important part of the Cog Nation, despite what others say to the little flunky.
Denis is a sleazy lawyer with a knack for confusing and annoying anyone he works with. He doesn't care if he wins or loses a case, just as long as he gets to show off his double talking prowess.
Natalie is a smarmy accountant who loves calculations just as much as she loves big wealthy men. Her eyes are open for any chance to get herself a profit, but remain blind to the repetitious life of number crunching she lives.
Four cogs, four districts, a chance meeting, and a crack team of toons on the loose; this can only go so well.
