A sharp, morally unflinching portrait of ambition and betrayal in postwar America, where a salesman's ruthless drive to build an empire comes at the cost of integrity and human connection.

The true story of how Ray Kroc, a salesman from Illinois, met Mac and Dick McDonald, who were running a burger operation in 1950s Southern California. Kroc was impressed by the brothers’ speedy system of making the food and saw franchise potential. He maneuvered himself into a position to be able to pull the company from the brothers and create a billion-dollar empire.
