Todd Anderson, Josh Hamilton, a Seattle-based salesman for a novelty-products company, learns his department is outsourced to India and must travel there to train his Indian replacement, Asif Basra Puro. Upon arrival, Todd is frustrated by being called “Mr. Toad” and struggles to make the call-center staff in Gharapuri understand what their American customers expect. He also fears he might never push the Minutes-per-Incident (MPI) below six minutes, which would keep him from returning to the United States.
