Kenny Wells, a down-on-his-luck hustler who inherited a failing mining company, clings to one last dream to stay afloat: financing the expedition of an equally desperate geologist in search of gold in the unexplored jungles of Indonesia. When the deposit turns out to be fabulous, the sudden fortune catapults him to the heights of Wall Street, where greed and appearances begin to cloud everything. Matthew McConaughey physically transforms to embody this scruffy dreamer. A drama about ambition, blind faith, and the price of chasing a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck.
