The movie, which is claimed to be in the same style as Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, David O. Russell’s American Hustle, and Adam McKay’s The Big Short, has reportedly been acquired by streaming service Netflix.

A humorous, dramatic, and chaotic journey to the corrupt centre of the American dream is described.

“Dreaming of a better life for her and her young daughter, Liza Drake (Blunt), a high-school dropout, lands a job with a failing pharmaceutical start-up in a yellowing strip mall in Central Florida. Liza’s charm, guts and drive catapult the company and her into the high life, where she soon finds herself at the centre of a criminal conspiracy with deadly consequences,” the official plotline read.
