Sandra Foster studies fads - from Barbie dolls to the grunge look - how they start and what they mean, for the HiTek corporation. Bennett O'Reilly studies monkey-group beha- vior and chaos theory for the same company. When the two are thrust together due to a misdelivered package and a run of seemingly bad luck, they find a joint project in a flock of sheep. What better animal to study both chaos theory and the herd mentality that so often characterizes human behavior? Unfortunately, Sandra and Bennett must en- dure a series of setbacks, heartbreaks, dead ends, and disasters before they are able to find answers to their questions - with the un- intended help of the errant, forgetful, and careless office assistant Flip.
