Nick, a young physician disillusioned with clinical work, moves from small province New Brunswick to big city Vancouver to take a research position with a medical startup, A.I. Plus Womxn's Health Solutions. Nick quickly finds himself working in the company of Grantrepreneurs - rogues of the business world who have created a financing model based entirely on the outrageous exploitation of public grant and subsidy programs.
When they seek to secure Fisheries and Oceans financing for a koi fountain in their lobby, Nick and his new friends rub elbows with Chinese-Canadian gangsters, famous Canadian authors, and even the prime minister himself (in the midst of a cough-syrup-induced existential crisis).
It's a lot of fun until someone shows up dead in a decorative water feature.
With scalpel-sharp wit, hilarious schemes and generous injections of heart, Jake Swan has written a page-turning, laugh-out-loud, idol-skewering misadventure.
