Writer Nicholas Jarecki makes his feature directorial debut with this drama centers on a Wall Street hedge fund tycoon and family man who scrambles to maintain a picture perfect façade as his empire slowly begins to topple behind the scenes. Robert Miller (Richard Gere) is about to turn 60. One of the most successful businessmen in New York City, Robert lives a life of luxury that few will ever know. But there's a storm coming, and nobody knows it better than Robert. If he can finalize the bank purchase of his trading empire before any evidence of his shady business dealings become known, there's a chance he could emerge relatively unscathed. Not even Robert's wife Ellen (Susan Sarandon) or their astute daughter Brooke (Brit Marling) have any idea of the hole their family patriarch has dug, but there about to fall in it, too - and hard. At the crucial moment when his plan falls apart, however, a deadly complication leaves Robert with no choice but to seek the help of shady Jimmy Grant (Nate Parker) - a man the wealthy financier never expected to see again. Just when it seems the situation couldn't get any worse, NYPD Detective Michael Bryer (Tim Roth) realizes he may have uncovered a key piece of evidence that will ensure Robert pays for his sins.
