Eight senior citizens play poker every Monday night. Their surgery scars all look like zippers, hence the name The Zipper Club. When they learn their property taxes are going up by forty percent, they decide to start asking questions. That's when they and a young TV news reporter uncover a deadly scheme to intentionally drive down property values so an unscrupulous developer can gobble up properties and flip them in a deal worth a hundred billion dollars. The corruption runs as high as the U.S. Senate, and the developer will stop at nothing to complete his land grab, including toxic dumping, bribery, and murder.
