After losing his good name and a lot of his fortune in a bad banking scheme, international investment banker Martin is out of work, is running out of money, and has been blacklisted from the international banking community, making finding a job impossible.
Battling against the recession of the early 1980s, Martin''s cousin Jack, an office supply salesman, is struggling to make ends meet, while his business partner, Kenny, is in the same predicament, exacerbated by a disappointed wife and the allure of his family''s business, which he has always tried to avoid.
When Kenny''s brother presents him with a very lucrative, if not very legal, "family" business venture, it brings the three together and begins a series of events that challenges all their intelligence, resolve, and tenacity, which will affect their lives one way or another, forever.
