Keith, an everyday guy with a passion for finance, shares his findings on social media and online forums, capturing the attention of a small but dedicated group of amateur investors. As they rally around his insights, their collective efforts begin to breathe new life into the stock, setting off a remarkable chain reaction.

As public interest in this David vs. Goliath narrative surges, broader questions about power and fairness in the financial system come to light.
