Cody Harris, grappling with the mental and financial toll of uncovering fraud in the family business, finds himself out of options and takes a product manager role at Candela, a direct-selling company specializing in prepper gear. He meets Anne Accettala, a seasoned employee driven to uncover the company’s systemic exploitation and lack of diversity.

Initially at odds, Cody and Anne unite to confront Candela’s toxic culture of arrogance, nepotism, and resistance to change. But Anne's relentless pursuit of justice puts Cody in a precarious position, threatening his job, financial security, and relationship with his fiancée.

As tensions mount, Cody faces a defining choice: stand by Anne and jeopardize the fragile stability he has fought to rebuild or align with the company that guarantees his security, even if it means abandoning Anne when she needs him most. This crossroads sets off a chain of events that will transform Cody’s life, forcing him to confront his values and weigh the true cost of integrity.

"Pale Privileges, Dark Roast" is a compelling narrative of moral dilemmas, personal transformation, and the courage to act when everything is at stake.
