Che cosa succede se un dipendente si accorge che il capo della sua azienda ruba e decide di non distogliere lo sguardo? Se di fronte alla scelta tra salvare la propria carriera o la propria coscienza, opta per quest'ultima? Nel febbraio 2015 Andrea Franzoso, funzionario dell'internal audit di Ferrovie Nord Milano, scopre che il presidente dell'azienda utilizza denaro pubblico per i propri interessi. Fra le "spese pazze" c'è veramente di tutto: film porno, viaggi, abiti firmati, regali ai politici amici e oltre 180 mila euro di multe accumulate da suo figlio con l'auto aziendale.
