Set against the backdrop of the 2007 US housing market crash, a desperate construction worker Dennis Nash reluctantly accepts a job with the ruthless real-estate broker Rick Carver who had previously evicted him and his family from their home. As Nash falls deeper into Carver’s world, he finds his situation growing more brutal and dangerous than he ever imagined. A compelling and relevant film, with terrific performances from Michael Shannon and Andrew Garfield.
