The film"s page

At his daughter’s wedding, the head of a powerful real estate company is confronted with a long-buried corruption scandal tied to an employee’s suicide. His secretary, now his new son-in-law, appears devoted, but has entered the family with a single purpose: to expose the truth.

Blending corruption, revenge, and deception, The Bad Sleep Well reveals a world without justice, where the powerful are never held accountable.
