Plot summary
Phuchit is a struggling salesman in Bangkok. A co-worker beats him to a client, his car is repossessed and his boss forces him to resign for lack of sales. His girlfriend Maew has left him to become a pop star, credit-card bills are overdue, and his mother telephones to ask for money for his younger brother's schooling. Then a caller who recites his full name, age and employment status offers him 10,000 baht to swat the fly buzzing in the stairwell, and the money reaches his bank account at once. The next call asks him to eat the dead fly, and a further call offers 100 million baht for eleven more tasks, provided he tells no one and does not quit. His friend Tong walks in as he swallows it.
