A college dropout running an illegal casino is recruited by a suburban investment firm. Seduced by the promise of immense wealth, he quickly rises within the high-pressure firm. He soon learns the company is a pump-and-dump scheme, defrauding innocent investors, and must decide between his own greed and his crumbling conscience.
