Set in a Wall Street public relations agency, The Arrangement pits an unfairly dismissed executive between two agonizing choices: an insider trading scheme that can give him the compensation he feels cheated of, versus walking away and starting a new but meager life. Spurred by his older partner to choose the former, the executive soon finds the seemingly fool-proof scheme is being investigated by an inexperienced but driven female government lawyer bent on destroying him. The cat-and-mouse game which ensues tests the deepest notions of loyalty, nerve, honor and betrayal.
