The Buyer's Premium

Liam is a tech-savvy introvert who recently "lost" a cryptocurrency hardware wallet worth millions in a staged burglary. He is accompanied by Ben, his charismatic but reckless roommate, who feigns support while secretly being the thief and seller of the stolen item. In the subterranean depths of an illegal Seattle auction house, Liam prepares to bid his life savings to recover his stolen hardware wallet. But as the prices climb, he notices a subtle signal between his roommate and the auctioneer. Realizing the burglary was an inside job, Liam shifts his strategy from desperation to revenge, turning the bidding war into a high-stakes trap.
