The Expediter
A talented but deeply flawed architect wins a competition for affordable housing in Downtown LA only to see the project compromised beyond recognition by a nemesis from college, now a slick developer. That is, until an attractive and mysteriously-helpful Expediter suddenly enters his life. Simultaneously Film Noir and architectural procedural, The Expediter also explores the role that entrenched privilege plays in the making of cities.
