Synopsis
Once a decent guy, Rick (Bill Pullman) now finds himself a widower faced with an arrogant boss (Aaron Stanford) who is half his age, a distant daughter (Agnes Bruckner), and a corporate job that forces him to act like the brash and sarcastic jerk he suspects he’s becoming. Its no wonder a cocktail waitress has placed him under a curse. When an old business school buddy offers to end Rick’s woes with what seems to be a perfect plan, Rick is left to make an unconventional decision. The perfect plan is not what it seems and threatens to destroy the only decent thing in his life, leaving him alone in a hostile world. Will Rick become a victim of his own temptation?
