Sixty-year-old magnate Robert Miller manages a hedge fund with his daughter Brooke and is about to sell it for a handsome profit. However, unbeknownst to his daughter and most of his other employees, he has cooking the books in order to cover an investment loss and avoid being arrested for fraud. One night, while driving with his much younger mistress, Julie Cote, he begins to doze off and crashes; Julie is killed. An injured Robert leaves the scene and decides to cover up his involvement to prevent the public, his wife Ellen, and the prospective buyer James Mayfield from discovering the truth.
