A headhunter whose life revolves around closing deals in a survival-of-the-fittest boiler room battles his top rival for control of their job placement company, but his dream of owning the company clashes with the needs of his family.

As the boss (Willem Dafoe) of a Chicago-based headhunter prepares to retire, Dane Jensen (Gerard Butler), who works at the Blackridge Recruiting agency arranging jobs for engineers, vies to achieve his longtime goal of taking over the company going head-to-head with his ambitious rival, Lynn Vogel (Alison Brie). However, Dane's 10-year-old son Ryan (Maxwell Jenkins) is suddenly diagnosed with cancer and Dane's professional priorities at work and personal priorities at home begin to clash.—LuzerneCountySheriff
