In the high-stakes world of corporate insurance, a desperate man finds his life unraveling in this sharp dramatic comedy. Brian Cox stars as Irving, a seasoned and cynical "key man" insurance agent whose policy on a brilliant, eccentric CEO, played by Hugo Weaving, is his golden ticket to retirement. When the unpredictable executive vanishes just as Irving is about to cash in, the agent's carefully constructed world begins to implode. Forced to confront his own failings and a parade of exasperated colleagues and clients—including a persistent lawyer (Ben Shenkman), his weary assistant (Carol Kane), and a mysterious woman from his past (Judy Greer)—Irving embarks on a frantic, soul-searching quest to find his missing client. Directed by Peter Himmelstein, the film blends wry humor with poignant drama as a man who has spent a lifetime assessing risk is forced to gamble everything on a journey that will redefine his own value.
