MP Enterprises connects otherwise different lives: the scheme in Feedback, the executive in Freestyle 4, the career in 30 Hours, and the father’s employment in Father Stretch My Hands. Freestyle 4’s departure opens the position taken in 30 Hours.

Story
Kanye is a young bachelor in Chicago holding the position as the Executive Vice President for MP Enterprises. He owns every badass car you think of, lives in the penthouse of the latest skyscraper and has countless connections throughout the city.
Oh yeah, and he's a cannibal.
Kanye takes part in this underground society where they kidnap people of all ages and place bids on them. Followed by the bidding, the winners are free to do what they want with their "prizes." All of this is done while the bidders are wearing masks — think Eyes Wide Shut.
There's a rumor of the current CEO, Mr. Parker, stepping down. Kanye decides to step his game up to be a possible candidate. He has a solid relationship with Mr. Parker, but does have some competition in Cameron, Mr. Parker's nephew-in-law and something of a prodigy to him. Although Kanye and Cameron have mutual respect, they both have their eyes on the prize and friction builds.
One morning, Mr. Parker calls them both in and tells them, after a long discussion with the board, Kanye is nominated to be next as CEO. Bitter, Cameron storms out. The following week, Cameron apologizes for his reaction and Kanye brushes it off, taking the position and giving a speech about taking MP Enterprises to new levels.
Cameron does some spiteful shit trying to get Kanye demoted. Kanye pulls some strings to get Cameron kidnapped into the underground society. Kanye buys him at the bidding, but doesn't eat him — just makes sure he's the last thing Cameron sees before he dies. Kanye gets promoted back to CEO.
At the funeral, a reporter tries to interview him — he tells her to make an appointment. Regardless, he meets her, they build a relationship, sleep together, and he starts to trust her, considering showing her what he's really about — think Hannibal Lecter meets Christian Grey.
One night he gets her super drunk and takes her to the bidding party. She's so drunk she partakes in the bidding, having a grand time. Kanye buys one bid but releases the person — just wanted to see her reaction. The next morning she wakes up thinking it was the weirdest dream, not realizing it was real.
The following week, Kanye takes her — let's call her Nina — to a fancy rooftop dinner, then to a masquerade party. It all feels familiar to her but she can't place it. The host takes the stage and the main event begins — seeing people blindfolded and gagged, Nina realizes her "dream" actually happened and storms out. Security grabs her; she's put up as a bid herself. The bidding war goes higher and higher, but Kanye isn't giving up — he wins.
They're approached afterward by the mysterious host, who tells them protocol requires the two of them to leave town immediately. Kanye tells Nina it was a mistake bringing her, and that they can start a new life right now if she wants. She's too lost to know what to do — somehow he convinces her to go with him.
Since Kanye just left, the CEO position at MP Enterprises is now open. Who do they hire? Kanye from 30 Hours.
