A woman (Jennifer Connelly) is evicted from her home after the county auditor makes an error, claiming that she owes back taxes. Before the legal wheels are set in motion however, an Iranian immigrant (Ben Kingsley) buys the house at auction for a quarter of what it is worth, hoping to sell it and make enough profit to buy a larger home -- like the one he had on the Caspian Sea as a privileged member of the Shah's inner circle. Into the mix comes a police deputy (Ron Eldard) who tries to help the distraught woman, until pride, greed . . .
