Plot
Roger Lent has worked at the same bank for more than twenty years. He is passed over for a promotion and his wife is not happy because she wants the good life. The family can barely afford a membership at Copper Canyon Country Club, and everyone else has these nice mansions. Roger's boss tells him he has to make more money for the bank in order to get a promotion. One way is to encourage people to invest in Copper Canyon Estates, where Roger's son Henry is being told to cut corners. Roger's daughter Cynthia is having to deal with her first period and becoming a teenager. After getting tennis pro/drug dealer Pat to invest his money, Roger finds out Copper Canyon Estates is a Ponzi scheme and he must decide whether to do the right thing.
