Tommy Head has a remarkable talent for failing upwards. He is a charming but clueless civil servant who leaves a trail of chaos wherever he goes. A succession of exasperated bosses recommend him for promotion because that's the only way they can get rid of him. When he finds himself embroiled in a government sex scandal, it's time to move on again - this time to Central America where he gets caught up in political turmoil and fears for his life.
