Twenty-four-year-old Samuel Dobson has had zero luck selling coffins door-to-door, so he might as well move on to vacuums. Paul Defranco, the head of Samson Vacuum Corporation's Scranton office, doesn't care that Samuel is awkward and clumsy. He hires him anyway, and soon Samuel is slinging vacuums with the best of them. Or at least trying.
Samuel soon finds himself in Samson Vacuum's corporate culture that involves cult-like motivational mantras, and he is trained in despicable and manipulative sales techniques. His new colleagues are a colorful-and possibly crazy-bunch. He befriends Tazz, a successful salesman whose jokester high jinks hide a dark side, while Paul heads to Phoenix to visit with sleazebag salesman Donnie Ficarra and manic office manager Mindy Yamamoto. Paul's job is at stake, and both Paul's alcoholic wife and Samuel's domineering ex-girlfriend are plotting revenge on the men who supposedly did them wrong.
Tensions will come to a head over a dishonest new salesman, stolen merchandise, and some casual insurance fraud. Samuel never knew the vacuum trade could be so lucrative-or dysfunctional. Sometimes, clean is dirty business.
