The time is the not so distant future.
The place is Wall Street. The United States has
been at war for three years with the Confederation
of Arab States, an expensive war both in lives and
oil lost. Gas prices in America have risen to an
unheard of $6.00/gallon, creating not just an oil
crisis but the perfect scenario for illegal profiteering.
Delaney & Strong, one of the country's oldest
and most respected investment banks, is having its
own crisis: cash reserves are dangerously low and
several recent deals have not yielded expected results.
The company's best and brightest, Tom Hanson (Christian
Slater), has had his own share of recent
bad luck he hasn't brought in a single high paying
client for months, his personal life is devastated
by a nasty divorce, and his ethics are in serious
jeopardy. When one of Delaney & Strong's largest
clients, Condor Oil & Gas, approaches Tom to
take over their upcoming merger after the murder
of their account executive Richard Kester, Tom is
stunned. Not only is Tom not an oil and gas expert,
but Richard was one of his best friends. Still,
Condor's CEO Jared Tolson insists and he's not a
man easily dissuaded.
This is a twenty billion dollar merger with a seemingly
oil rich Russian company, and both Tom and Delaney
& Strong are as publicly beyond reproach as
Tolson could hope. Back at Delaney & Strong,
the reactions to Tom's deal sets the viper's nest
abuzz. Delaney's top oil and gas man, Hank Wiess,
recruits newly hired Harvard grad Shane Waller as
his in-house spy as tries to discredit Tom's work.
Another new hire, Harvard grad and environmental
idealist Abbey Gallagher (Selma
Blair) becomes Tom's go-to girl as he
perches precariously between revitalizing his career
and trying desperately to cling to his nearly lost
morals. It's not until Tom begins to unravel the
proposed merger bit by bit, that pieces of a global
conspiracy puzzle start to fall into place.
From the oil feeds of the Middle East to the Russian
Mafia and even the United States Senate, greed,
fear and envy chisel away at "the
deal" until finally Tom finds himself
in a life or death race against what's right and
what's real. |
