The film is based on Laura Blumenfeld's article about TARP mastermind Neel Kashkari, a top official under then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, who helped develop the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, which bailed out the big banks following the economic collapse in 2008. Neel Kashkari subsequently left Washington and moved to an isolated cabin in Northern California.
