Ben is an ambitious young executive charged with persuading 500 employee shareholders to agree to a merger that will save their company. But despite his best efforts, he can't convince anyone to buy in to the deal.
During his week at the company, Ben realizes that his aggressive style is actually making it harder to reach his goals.
