Product Description

Sam Ellis is a man on the rise, a hot-shot prosecutor on the cusp of a bright future. When an impossibly gorgeous intern at the office becomes infatuated with him, Sam unwisely attempts to quiet his desires by seeing a high class escort only to discover that the experience is more fulfilling and exhilarating than he could have imagined. A second appointment with an escort soon follows, and a third, sending his once idyllic life spiraling out of control. In the midst of wrestling with his demons, he suddenly finds himself being groomed to run for U.S. Congress thrusting him into the public spotlight, and forcing him to take increasingly dangerous measures to keep the press, the law and his wife off his trail.

Review

This is a cynical time for American politics, and Zipper feels like the cynical kind of movie we deserve. --The Film Stage

Has a real honesty at its heart and a terrific performance from Patrick Wilson. A worthwhile political thriller. --Cinehouse
