Human Capital

It's spring 2001 and deep in the Connecticut suburbs three families are making plans for the future. Drew Hagel has secretly speculated everything on tomorrow so that his daughter Shannon can go to the best college; Quint Manning - the financial wizard investing Drew's money - is disappointed in his son Jamie's lack of school success, but can't see why a boy who has everything can be so unhappy; and Ian, Shannon Hagel's secret lover, is trying to put his life back on track, but is worried that he'll blow his inheritance. Big money and big lies put each family on a collision course - but who will come out on top and who will be left picking up the pieces?
