Holden Downs, Nick Mancuso, is a powerful, hot-tempered real estate developer whose latest dream project is threatened by an environmental injunction that could halt construction and upend his empire. As his crumbling marriage to Faye Downs, Linda Hoffman, and the loss of key employees weigh on him, Holden doubles down on control, pushing through obstacles with ruthless efficiency and a sharp sense of personal entitlement.
