Josh Kovacs è il direttore del personale del Tower, un lussuoso grattacielo residenziale di New York di proprietà del magnate Arthur Shaw. Josh ha una forte ammirazione verso il capo, per il quale gestisce con rigore e professionalità tutti gli impegni, oltre a uno stuolo di dipendenti e di clienti. Finché un giorno, l'FBI irrompe e Josh scopre incredulo che l'amato capo è accusato di bancarotta fraudolenta e che ha truffato, tra gli altri, anche tutti i suoi dipendenti, investendo i loro fondi pensione e lasciandoli senza un soldo. La sua furiosa reazione costa il licenziamento a lui e al cognato in procinto di diventare padre, ma anche l'idea di lanciarsi in una folle impresa volta a espropriare i beni illegalmente accumulati dal magnate.
