Opis

In this political satire, the middle class finally levels the economic and political playing field with the help of four unlikely people. It's the late 2000's and the mortgage and credit crisis are beginning to unravel the economy. A deranged serial killer has targeted several key players thought to have had a hand in the financial meltdown. Jason MacMillan, one of the nation's top investment bankers has it all: money, looks, prestige -- but it's still not enough. His insatiable greed becomes tempered by a haunting stalker, and personal tragedy forces him to rethink his values. Using Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi as role models, MacMillan transforms from a one-percenter to a leader of the middle class. But overhauling corporate dominance is something MacMillan can't do alone so he enlists the help of his shoot-from-the-hip cartoon comedy writer girlfriend; his old Harvard pal -- a brilliant but quirky South African scientist; and a destitute Native American farmer from Oklahoma. The result -- "Enough's Enough " becomes a powerful populist movement of millions of Americans who force oil barons, fast food giants and mega discount chains to change the way they do business.
