It's 2008. In three days, family man and Silicon Valley speechwriter Dan Jordan will see his start-up stock vest. He'll cash out with $1.1 million, turn in his frenetic Valley life in for a slower one on the beach with his wife and two children, and finally live the life he's supposed to live. Or so he thinks. Before he can collect his cash and get outta Dodge, all hell breaks loose. Dan is kidnapped by a gang of tiny IT nerds who threaten to get him fired before the options can vest, stalked by a potentially murderous corporate security muscle man, and confronted with the possible disintegration of his marriage, all while his sociopath neighbor, Crazy Larry, threatens to ruin everything. . . .Side-splittingly funny and full of larger-than-life characters, Cash Out is like Office Space as reimagined by the creators of The Hangover?a sly caper gone outrageously, unforgettably awry.

Rick Blanco is no different from any other office slave?he hates stupid office meetings. What makes him special is he's done something about it. Following in the footsteps of Bob Watson?a former colleague and office illusionist?he's perfected the art of ditching meetings.Now, Rick wants to pull off his most important Bob Watson yet?skipping out of work to go on a date with the woman he's chased for years. All she requires is that he first treat his precocious young nephew to his own Bob Watson and give him a break from a life filled with stress, college prep, and mandatory overachievement. The day is as exciting as Rick could have wanted, but not in the way he had hoped. Mistaken for one of the most notorious HR executives in the world, Rick is soon forced into six hours of mayhem, complete with home break-ins, a large bag of cash, a variety of naked people, and an emergency board meeting he may not be able to escape.Along the way, Rick realizes there might be an important reason behind everything?a very important reason. Well, everything except for the bottle of Wesson oil.
