Storyline
After losing everything in a crypto scheme pushed by a fraudulent self-help guru, a
desperate man kidnaps the very author he once idolized, dragging along an anxious
coworker as an accomplice in a half-baked ransom plot. As their plan unravels, the line
between victim and perpetrator blurs, forcing all three men to confront their lies before
everything spins out of control.
