When Matt Coleman starts his bankruptcy legal practice
his wife Lynn comes up with a fantastic marketing plan - convince people
that the credit card companies are manipulating them into a permanent state
of financial slavery. Since their financial distress is a result of these
practices there is no shame involved in filing a bankruptcy to get out of
their grip and become a free person. As a result of this plan business booms
and bankruptcy filings climb. Of course several banks that are involved in
predatory credit card practices are severely hurt.
One particular bank, Midsouth Bank, does not take too kindly to Matt and
Lynn’s activities, and are quite disturbed at the serious financial damage
that is being caused to their institution and the bankruptcies they now have
to endure. This leads the chief executive officer
to take some very drastic and ruthless measures leading to tragic
consequences affecting Matt and his wife, as well as others. |
