Sam is proud of it, but his boss just blame Sam because the deal he made with other parties will bring a big problems for his company and threatened him into the realm of law. To get the solution out, the boss gives orders to Sam to finish a job with a very narrow deadline. If Sam can not solve it, the threat is dismissal and Sam must take responsibility for the problem itself.
