The Demand of Avarice

By MATTHEW MCLACHLAN
Directed by DAVID ZAYAS JR.

The world’s three richest billionaires are kidnapped by a masked vigilante who demands a price their wealth cannot meet.

When the world’s three wealthiest billionaires wake in a dark basement, stripped of everything that once defined them, they are confronted by a masked vigilante with a singular demand: confess, account, and atone. What begins as a radical act of justice spirals into a psychological reckoning as their money, influence, and power are suddenly useless. The only currency that matters now…is truth.

As their time in the basement unfolds, alliances fracture, secrets surface, and the line between justice and vengeance blurs, pushing each billionaire to a breaking point they can’t talk their way out of, with no one leaving unchanged. The Demand of Avarice interrogates wealth, power, and accountability, asking not just what these people have taken from the world, but what they owe it, and what it will cost them to finally pay.
