The Ark

TRUMAN CHASE is a young, aspiring fashion designer with a vision. The son of a Polish immigrant from the Bronx, Truman is set to launch his dream career at a leading New York fashion house, his chance to break out of poverty. A few weeks before he starts, his father leaves Truman a last dying wish: that he return to Poland and rescue his family’s struggling clothing business. Truman abandons his U.S. career to stay in Poland to build his own fashion house, TruCo. Over the next decade, as the business booms, Truman takes the risky decision to borrow millions of dollars from a global fund, The Ark. Unbeknownst to Truman, this is the start of his worst nightmare.
