The Promotion

Trish and Josh are friends. They’re also the top two salespeople in their small insurance agency. When they find out they’ve each been offered a shot at the same big promotion, their friendly workplace rivalry implodes. Now they'll have to figure out what they really want.. and how badly they really want it. A dark comedy about race, gender, and upward mobility in the 21st century.
