Review:

Ellen and Joe Martin are a simple couple.

They arenā€™t involved in shady business deals or extramarital affairs or corrupt legal systems or murder plots. They donā€™t believe the world owes them anything. They just want to live their lives together in peace. So, when Joe is killed (along with 20 other people) in a boating accident, Ellen doesnā€™t really care about the financial settlement. After all, Joe took really good care of her with his life insurance policy.

No, what really gets under Ellenā€™s skin is when she learns that the boating company canā€™t pay out the settlement deals because of a corrupt insurance policy. She starts digging and asking questions and eventually discovers the heart of the issue: a law firm called Mossack Fonseca.

ā€œThe wealth management you deserveā€ is the Panama firmā€™s motto, and Ellenā€™s deepening investigation soon teaches her all about wealth and money: ā€œThe idea of money. The necessity of money. The secret life of money.ā€

But most importantly, Ellen decides that this corruption has to stop. And in order to stop the laundering of money, you have to put the laundromat out of business
