The stock market becomes a dangerous game in the thriller debuting this week.

XYZ Films releases TRADER to VOD this Thursday, August 10. It’s tense one-woman show for actor Kimberly-Sue Murray, and a similar solo showcase for Corey Stanton, who wrote, directed and edited the movie, and also served as composer and visual effects supervisor. The synopsis: “A manipulative sociopath [Murray] armed with a dangerously ambitious spirit, her wits, and an affinity for snorting wasabi voyages into the high-intensity game of stock market trading and wages war against the financial world. When she stumbles upon news of a monumental pharmaceutical trade, she risks everything to complete her ultimate success story no matter the cost.”
