Jack is an eager young assistant at a top architecture firm. When a colleague's pitch for a prestigious client fails, Jack steps out of line to propose an impromptu design that impresses everybody. He commissions the firm's biggest project - and also becomes its architect. We follow Jack into a downward spiral of ego, overcommitment, and obsession as we watch his ambitious design overwhelm him. He assumes that he can do it all - but he ultimately hurts those closest to him.
