Set in 2010, Michael Shannon plays an opportunistic Orlando-based real estate agent named Richard 'Rick' Carver, who has gone from getting people into homes through sales to getting people out of homes through evictions, and he's making a heck of a lot more money doing the latter. When homeowners default on their mortgages, Carver metaphorically circles the property like a hungry vulture, waiting for the tenants to use up every last resource before he forces them to vacate on behalf of the bank. Carver's next mark is Dennis Nash, a construction worker who has been struggling mightily financially when home building project funding has dried up. Despite every effort to save his home, Carver comes in like the Grim Reaper to bring reality to the situation, and soon Nash is forced into living in a dingy motel with his mother and young son on the hope that he can find a way to legally get his home back. However, a silver lining forms when Carver is in need of someone who can do manual labor, offering Nash cash for doing a good deal of the grunt work of fixing and cleaning up foreclosed homes. Nash doesn't like it, but he needs the money, and hopes he can earn enough to get back his family home, but his conscience is troubled that he's doing it with money gained from the eviction of good families down on their luck, very much like his own.
