Told through a series of increasingly frantic e-mails, E-Mails from the Edge traces the circuitous career of Constance Beaman, a middling middle manager at a multi-national corporation.
She is bounced among a kaleidoscopic assortment of bosses, squeezed through the merger ringer, shaken by excruciating exercises in team building, and forced to exude passion against her will. Constance veers off her career path and into a series of outrageous acts that mock the corporation's will to power.
