Spoilers ahead

John Ferguson, a whistleblower at Denning, a major pharmaceutical company, becomes disillusioned with the perceived lack of action against the firm. He murders several executives and then ends his life as the police arrive. Tom Miller, Max Minghella, a paralegal assigned to the Denning case, soon questions the strength of the upcoming trial since Ferguson was their star witness. Miller’s boss dismisses his idealism as financially reckless, and when Miller pens an unsolicited memo about the Gambizzi crime family, Alan Emmerich, one of the partners at the firm, fires him. Roger, Miller’s friend and fellow paralegal, initially shares his frustration but stays to work late. Emmerich sends everyone else home due to a supposed technical problem with the firm’s Internet access, including Miller’s girlfriend Anna, Eloise Mumford.
