Azaria leads the company as Rick, who, in the same week as his private equity firm forced massive layoffs at a national grocery chain, threw himself an extravagant engagement party, setting off a publicity nightmare. Fortunately, Seth (Krasinski), one of Rick's managing directors, has a win-win deal to invest in an American-made luggage company for a song and rescue his boss from the company's PR disaster. But Jenny (Danes), Seth's counterpart, has an entirely different plan: to squeeze every last penny out of the company, no matter the human toll.
