Synopsis
Around the world everyone knows that honest hard work gets you nowhere. In sunny Orlando, Florida, proud and desperate construction worker Dennis Nash is evicted from his home by a charismatic, gun-toting real-estate broker Mike Carver, and is forced to move his mom and young son into a shabby motel. All is lost, until an unexpected opportunity allows Nash to strike a deal with the devil—he begins working for Carver in a desperate attempt to get his home back. Carver seduces Nash into a risky world of stealing from banks and the government. Nash makes big money; but there’s a cost. On Carver’s orders, Nash must evict honest families from their homes—just as it happened to him. Nash hides all this from his family; his conscience is tearing him apart... but his son needs a home. With an incredibly lucrative 1,000 home deal on the line, Nash will have to choose between destroying an honest man for the ultimate win or risking it all by going against Carver and finding redemption.
