In this modern epic, Kim Nguyen exposes the ruthless edge of our increasingly
digital world. Cousins from New York, Vincent (Jesse Eisenberg) and Anton
(Alexander Skarsgård) are players in the high-stakes game of High-Frequency
Trading, where winning is measured in milliseconds. Their dream? To build a
straight fiber-optic cable line between Kansas and New Jersey, making them
millions. But nothing is straightforward for this flawed pair. Anton is the brains,
Vincent is the hustler, and together they push each other and everyone around
them to the breaking point with their quixotic adventure. Constantly breathing
down their necks is their old boss Eva Torres (Salma Hayek), a powerful,
intoxicating and manipulative trader who will stop at nothing to come between
them and beat them at their own game.
