Scat is young, confused, underemployed, and in Los Angeles. So when he comes up with the idea for the hottest new cola ever, he’s sure he’ll retire as the next overnight sensation. But in the treacherous waters of corporate America there is no sure thing — and suddenly Scat has to save not only his idea but his yet-to-be-realised career. With the help of scarily beautiful and brainy 6 — who has all the angles Scat so desperately desires — he sets out on a mission to reclaim the fame and fortune that, time and again, elude him. This brilliant debut is a hilarious send-up of celebrity, sexual politics, and the lengths to which a young man will go to get ahead and get a date.
