Billy Goda's new thriller, Dust, is a power play. One man is an executive with money and a paunch. The other is an ex-con with street smarts and a minimum-wage position. One man says "jump." The other won't say "how high," but defiantly asks "why?". What starts off as a battle of wills over who will do the dusting escalates into a war for respect, the upper hand and survival. Who will be standing when the dust settles?

Catchman has been humiliated at his hotel service job by rich and powerful Martin Stone (the always reliable Richard Masur) after refusing to wipe the dust from a vent cover in the hotel gym.
