Summary

Toby Groves was running a mortgage brokerage when he discovered a small mistake that had been losing the company money, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of money, very quickly. Toby was willing to do anything he could to save his company and the employee jobs that came with it – even if it meant breaking the law, over and over again. At first it started with just one little, fraudulent loan, then another and another, until things snowballed into catastrophe. A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.
