ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Netflix's 'A Man in Full' offers an unexpected conclusion to Charlie Croker's adventures. The key character played by Jeff Daniels finds himself in soup as a leading bank begins to seize his assets after he fails to repay his debt worth almost a billion dollars.

Raymond Peepgrass (Tom Pelphrey), the banker, who admires and envies Charlie, devices a new plan to take down the real-estate mogul, after he gets leniency from the bank following pressure from Mayor Wes Jordan (William Jackson Harper).
