Plot summary
Handy single father Dennis Nash always worked off his tail in construction in sunny Orlando, Florida, to provide for his equally doting son Connor and in-living mother, but gets laid off as the firm is bankrupted by the crisis. Unable to pay off his mortgage, he gets evicted by the bank's regular cahoot, charismatic, gun-toting real-estate broker, Rick Carver, who gets rich from such evictions. Seeing honest Dennis volunteering for a dirty job, he hires him regularly, for better-paid but less innocent jobs, trying to make inevitable evictions less hard for fellow victims. Dennis agrees only to buy back his home, but gets drawn in ever further, tasting the luxurious lifestyle, yet unable to turn off his conscience. Tempted to 'settle for ' a grander villa, he's deserted by his family and hesitates whether to side with lucrative crook Carver or fellow evicted honest workers like himself.—KGF Vissers
