Mark goes to work one morning on what he believes will be just another day until his boss tells him he's being terminated. As he leaves, he notices several government cars in the lot and, then on the evening news, notices an increase in bank robberies and officials having a tough time handling the crimes. He comes up with a startling revelation-could the crimes be linked to the questionable mortgage contracts that were popping up among his colleagues. Mark assembles a team of "special" agents to take on what could be a cover-up of unbelievable proportions.
