Perched on the company roof, Raymond Kane shocks executives by threatening to jump unless $20 million appears within three days. Two rivals refuse to wait, demand he sign over control and taunt that the company will be theirs if he disappears. His staff consider calling police but lack proof and scramble to raise cash: sell cars, houses and shut down the drug project. After liquidating his home and furniture they remain $20 million short with one day left. A sudden phone call about someone at the hospital forces Kane to leave immediately, debt unresolved and the deadline looming.
