About
It's not the money, it's the action.
The story follows a skilled negotiator, an expert at closing difficult deals, who becomes entangled in a complex web of deception, manipulation, and power while trying to maintain his position in an environment where ambition and betrayal are commonplace. A film about themes such as morality in business, the pressure of success, and how far someone is willing to compromise their principles for money and control.
