What Emotions is about
Carlos is working on the big deal that could save Greenhouse, the company where he works. At the same time, he has to cope with pressure from senior staff, mistakes made by his own team and the tactics of the competition. The result is a whirlwind of emotions that puts the whole deal at risk.
