When he's given three weeks to bring a company to Wales-or lose his job entirely-Dave is forced out of his comfort zone and into a world far stranger than he expected. Just as a promising lead with an American auto supplier emerges, a mysterious invitation to a greentech conference in Iceland throws everything off course. Enter Sal: an enigmatic arrival with oversized ears and even bigger secrets. As Dave stumbles through awkward business meetings and existential detours, he begins to wonder-could this odd journey be exactly what he needs to start living again?
