STORY

This is a film about finance and economics that depicts the asymmetricity of information in the field of angel investing.
Foreseeing the "coming age of the Internet," Irving launched an online shopping company with his friends and had it listed on a public stock exchange. While continuing to manage the company after it went public, Irving borrowed a large amount of money using his shares as collateral and began making "angel investments" in young entrepreneurs from around the world.
One day, Irving meets a young entrepreneur, Cal Benn, and is fascinated by his outstanding ideas, and he becomes deeply involved in Cal's company, making several large investments. Cal also changes in the rapid growth of his company's market capitalization, and he creates a false image of his company in order to further increase its market capitalization. Then, Cal's scandal is leaked to the press, and the illusion is revealed to the public. Cal escaped by selling his shares in advance, while Irving lost all his assets and family, and was left penniless.
