Movie Story
Ash has built his career around staying anonymous. He negotiates deals between corporations that want damaging information buried and the people capable of exposing those companies. Neither side needs to know who he really is.
That anonymity has protected him for years. Sarah Grant becomes his newest client after taking sensitive documents from her former biotechnology employer. She no longer wants to expose the company. Instead, she wants to return the information and negotiate a deal that will allow her to disappear safely.
