Two wealthy businessmen, Sean and Mark, who work at a pharmaceutical company, are about to get even wealthier and filthier with $5 million in the sale of stolen trade secrets. Their unscruptulous plan appears to be slick and effortless as they arrive with their other halves at Mark’s home — the loot in the metal suitcase being carried swiftly by Mark (Kellan Lutz of the “Twilight” series) to his safe. The two couples have dinner outside as Mark’s doubts are radiated by his coke-head friend Sean (Jesse Williams  of “Grey’s Anatomy”) who is over-eager to proceed with the plan. The escapades take a mysterious turn as an uninvited new neighbor named John (Jamie Bamber of “Battlestar Galactica”) begins to stir up the pot and enchants the women and Sean’s girlfriend Christine (Lucía Guerrero) who invites him join their outdoor blender. When John asks too many questions, the two couples reveal their true nature. With Mark’s wife (Jess Weixler of “Teeth” and “The Good Wife”) not in reconciliation with Mark’s reasoning, the tension escalates — the characters’ secrets materialize with greed maneuvering from deceit to thriller and eventually to cruel violence with a touch of dark humor.
