Ryan starts as a junior salesperson at Pacific Trading Company, at the bottom of the hierarchy. Three days ago, he bought a lottery ticket and won a million dollars. When his six colleagues find out, they push him to treat them to dinner. He agrees to Maplewood Grill, expecting a few grand at most.

The colleagues secretly switch the venue to Solstice Grand, a five-star New York hotel, and bury Ryan in overtime. They go ahead without him and order premium wagyu, lobster, Romanée-Conti, cigars, caviar, scarves, and jewelry, putting it all on his tab. By the time Ryan arrives, the meal is over. He doesn't fight. He asks careful questions.

He gets them to confirm Swanson booked the suite and the team picked the food and wine. He also establishes that he hasn't eaten or drunk anything. Then he excuses himself to the front desk.

A staff member warns him the group treated him as an easy target. At the front desk, the manager confirms the total: $402,500, rounded down to $400,000. Ryan refuses to pay with one line: "I didn't consume any of this. They should pay for those, not me."

What follows is methodical. Ryan gathers more evidence and exposes their corruption. The six turn on each other, but they retaliate with rumors and cyberbullying. His final proof gets them fired, jailed, and puts him in charge.

Dramaglance Notes
Ryan is a junior salesperson at Pacific Trading Company, new and at the bottom. His six colleagues—led by Mr. Swanson, with Dennis, Linda, Gary, Mr. Ginpo, and Mrs. Miller—see his million-dollar lottery win as a chance to exploit him. They force a celebration dinner, then secretly upgrade it to Solstice Grand and leave Ryan with the bill. Ryan plays along, recording their admissions and building evidence. The colleagues believe he is too timid to fight back, but he quietly gathers proof of their corruption. A hotel staff member overhears their insults and tips Ryan off. The conflict is simple: six entitled coworkers against one patient man who is done being their sucker.
