The offbeat executives and employees of a major automobile company in Detroit try to adjust to a rapidly shifting industry. New CEO Katherine Hastings, whose bold leadership and business savvy is only slightly offset by her complete lack of knowledge about cars, must steer a crew of diverse characters and opinions in an audacious new direction if they want to keep up with the times -- while dealing with all the issues of life in the modern workplace. From the corporate offices to the factory floor, they'll pull out all the stops to make it work... if they can get out of their own way.
