Summary
Trevor Barnett is the scion of an old tobacco family. He is 31 and will come into a $10 million trust fund when he turns 60 so long as he has been in continuous employment from graduation until his 60th… birthday with the cigarette company his ancestor founded. His capacity for useful candour gets him promoted to a senior PR job at just the point where a maverick CEO tries to blackmail the US government and people by shutting down the entire tobacco industry Trevor, though, has a different agenda which is to bring common sense and humanity to the debate; he also wants to hang onto his personal wealth and get the woman he loves--which is harder than it sounds, since she is an anti-smoking advocacy lawyer. Strong language. 2003.
