It is 2008 and the financial crisis in America has just started. One investment bank is firing staff on the spot - a brutal operation which reveals the ethos of the firm. As a senior analyst is escorted off the premises he manages to pass vital information to a junior colleague, with the prophetic warning ‘be careful’. Events over the next 24 hours are increasingly tense and absorbing as the key staff involved struggle to reconcile individual survival with professional judgements of correct ‘moral’ behaviour. Jeremy Irons is particularly chilling as the CEO of the struggling firm.
