Overview:

When a western Pennsylvania auto plant is acquired by a Japanese company, brokering auto worker Hunt Stevenson faces the tricky challenge of mediating the assimilation of two clashing corporate cultures.

At the other, a number of disgruntled long-time union members struggle with the new exigencies of Japanese quality control.
