The Charity

DAVID GILBERT a middle-aged accountant is struggling to get his life back following the death of his wife, and the loss of his job.
He obtains a last chance position with highly respected national charity, the recipient of a large government contract to provide an Emergency Response service
In the first hour, he meets embittered GORDON JACKSON, acting CEO, who has recently learned he would not get the permanent CEO position. There is instant antipathy between them.
Jackson's secret partner is Jake Bodine a crooked businessman who he provides with pornographic photographs; and they are manipulating The Charity into a multi-million gaming machine scam.
The new CEO is STUART MITCHELL a retired army officer, who arrives via the old boy network. Jackson openly despises him. Mitchell enters into a sexual liaison with the Charity's Chairperson, the wife of a millionaire benefactor.
Gilbert and Jackson are regularly in conflict; Gilbert is suspicious of his criminal activities. Resenting interference, Jackson attempts to run him down one night, but Lawyer BARBARA GALBRAITH'S warning saves him. Galbraith helps Gilbert investigate Jackson's criminal activities, and they eventually fall in love.
Carol, one of Jackson's pornographic models commits suicide leaving a note implicating him. Another model attempts blackmail. Jackson kills her and hides the body.
Mitchell awards a valuable PR contract to his brother-in-law, who doctors the report to show an enhanced operating performance. This is uncovered in a public TV/Radio interview, exposing The Charity to national scorn and disrepute.

Gilbert gives the police evidence implicating Jackson in the deaths of the girls and the gaming machine fraud. The police go to pick Jackson up but he and Mitchell are driving through the hills to a conference.
After a thrilling car chase there is a shocking conclusion.
