Christopher Cowin, a man in his mid-thirties with a family and a small advertising business, recently faced a legal defeat that reinforced his belief that the wealthy and influential always prevail. Motivated by this, he launches a website called THE LIST, where users can identify corrupt figures in public life and assign them points based on their level of threat. This leads to a compilation of politicians, CEOs, and bankers. The site rapidly gains global popularity, but things take a dark turn when the individual ranked at the top of THE LIST is found murdered, causing public sentiment to shift against Christopher.
