Synopsis:
A former federal agent drops off the grid to track down the most wanted financial criminals in the world, the “Benedict Arnold Billionaires” who have cheated America and are living large in paradise. Recruited by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury tasked with collecting and analyzing information about financial transactions in order to combat money laundering, terrorist financiers, high profile tax evaders and other financial crimes -- he joins a new breed of federal agents, highly skilled in surveillance, forensic and espionage tactics. In the process, he learns more than he could have ever imagined about his father's dubious disappearance many years ago. Inspired by a true story.
