Perception is everything but simple. As a word, it is the same for everybody. But the meaning, the sound, the smell, the emotions behind it are unique to each person. Some may think a lot about how the world came to be or how certain things work, while others may not spend that kind of time in their thoughts. Employee Nr. 1T2B3 finds herself questioning the way of the world while being rushed around the globe by the people she works for, and realizes that everything seems wrong. While her own mind drives her mad, the owner of the company she works for is getting lost in his hunger for power and recognition - a dangerous kind of frenzy that could overshadow everything he has done up to this point.
