Bad Company

In the rain‑slick corridors of Seattle’s corporate underbelly, a hidden network trades in secrets the world would rather keep buried. Operating under the innocuous‑sounding name “The Toolshed,” the organization offers its clients—ranging from multinational conglomerates to shadowy foreign interests—discreet services that blur the line between legal counsel and illegal coercion. The atmosphere is one of perpetual tension, where polished boardrooms sit atop whispered deals, and every handshake could conceal a trap. The film’s tone is a gritty blend of noir‑style suspense and cold‑war paranoia, inviting the audience to feel the weight of unseen forces shaping ordinary lives.

When the CIA summons a reluctant veteran for an unusually lethal assignment, Nelson Crowe steps into this murky arena. A former intelligence officer now navigating the gray zones between loyalty and survival, he is tasked with infiltrating the clandestine firm and gathering intel that could shift the balance of power. His skill set—sharp analytical mind, fieldcraft honed by years of covert work—makes him both a valuable asset and a potential liability in a world where trust is a commodity far more expensive than money.

Inside The Toolshed, Margaret Wells commands attention with a blend of charm, intelligence, and an enigmatic agenda of her own. Their partnership quickly becomes a delicate dance of mutual benefit and hidden motives, each recognizing the other as a means to navigate the labyrinthine hierarchy that governs the organization. The chemistry between them is charged, hinting at a deeper, perhaps perilous, collaboration that could reshape the covert empire they seek to understand.

Surrounded by figures like the enigmatic founder who runs the operation from the shadows, the story unfolds against a backdrop of high‑stakes intrigue, moral ambiguity, and relentless pressure. As alliances shift and the stakes rise, the film maintains a relentless suspense, leaving viewers to wonder just how far the characters will go—and what will be left standing when the hidden war finally surfaces.
