A real estate agent, Carl, is confronted by his colleagues about his ex-wife, Poppy, being at the open house. They encourage him to sell her on a new home. His ex-wife, Poppy, explains she wants her own place, and Carl uses a sales pitch to convince her to give them "one more go." Later, Carl's colleagues celebrate their sales, and one of them reveals a secret to another, leading to a dramatic reveal of the video's title, "The Broker.Age."
