The premise

Here’s the bit.

Mr Lully arrives at a bank with product samples and a polished plan for a new business. His proposed cocaine and heroin operation comes complete with packaging research, teenage customers and a strategy for securing their spending money. When the manager raises an ethical objection, Lully defends the venture as ordinary competition, prompting an unexpected confession about the manager’s lost faith in market forces.
