The script is an adventure comedy, based in America and about American business.

The main characters run separate business conglomerates. The lady is hard and ambitious; the man tough and straight-talking.

At a meeting to discuss a merger, he insults her by suggesting she is plastic and manufactured. He would detest his company to merge with one run by a fraud.

She is outraged and insults are vehemently and loudly exchanged.

To break the deadlock of their 'special farrago of resentments', he suggests they go camping for a week up in the mountains: Jeans and T-shirts, a couple of tents and sleeping bags. They would then both see each other, like Oliver Cromwell, warts and all; the 'real deal'.

They meet out in the high country and the script details their journey over the mountains, camping by lakes, fishing and shooting, facing storms and rain, floods and wild animals.

The script ends in the parking lot where she considers that she now knows everything there is to know about him and he knows everything about her: So how about the merger?

He agrees and they are about to shake hands, when the denouement arrives. It shows that while he knows all about her, she really knows very little about him.

And there, standing by the tailgate of an old pickup truck, she is destroyed.
