Synopsis

An over-the-top debut, from a new Australian writer, about a young wannabe "buzzmaker" who will do almost anything to get ahead and get a date. He's young, he's in LA and he's trying to carve a path in the most powerful, corrupt and insane industry in the world: marketing. For fans who laughed out loud at Nick Hornby and Helen Fielding.

From the Back Cover

Scat is young, confused, underemployed, and in Los Angeles, so when he comes up with the idea for the hottest new soda ever, he's sure he'll retire as the next overnight sensation. But in the treacherous waters of corporate America there are no sure things -- and suddenly Scat has to save not only his idea but his yet-to-be-realized career. With the help of the scarily beautiful and brainy 6 -- who has all the angles Scat so desperately desires -- he sets out on a mission to reclaim the fame and fortune that, time and again, elude him. This brilliant debut is a hilarious send-up of celebrity, sexual politics, and the lengths to which a young man will go to get ahead and get a date.
