Elements of Banking

Nigel Ward is a bit of a Banker who is surrounded by complete Bankers. He`s struggled with his job for twenty years. Suffered a nervous breakdown and a broken marriage. He blames these misfortunes on his employment. People are continually promoted above him and his career is going nowhere. He accepts this is the way things are and gets on with it. As a weekend Father it seems only his spoilt son is keeping him on the rails. That, accompanies by his divorced wife for whom he still had affection. But it`s a relationship which has gone as far as it can go. He lives in curtain twitching suburbia which holds no surprises until the curtains stop moving. Then realisation hits. He had the power to change things but he`s not sure if he can do it for the better. Mr Turnball, a branch manager confides his worries to him. This is the last straw. He realises he is not the only victim in a world of office and business politics. He wants justice for himself and MrTurnball. He decides on doing this by stealing from his employer. But can it be done and can he get away with it. He`s been honest all his life but its given no rewards. Is he even capable of stealing? Juggling motives he decides stealing is not his driving force. Satisfaction will come in deceiving the system and making it crumble. But is one small man capable of taking on the might of the corporate cosh. Above all, does anybody really care. He does! Nigel`s desperate the institution pays for his enslavement, one way or the other. He toys with several ideas before getting a plan together which is foolproof. But has he got the bottle to see it through and will his nerve hold. If he succeeds without getting caught who will take the blame. Will this petty act of vandalism cause innocent victims. Can he deal with the consequences and live with himself. Despite the questioning he achieves his aims but uncertain if he has achieved the desired effects. Perhaps he should have been careful in what he wished for.
