A pénz, a gazdagság és a hanyatlás világa. A híres szerző, aki tökéletesen ismeri a környezetet és mesélői magabiztossággal bír, egy drámai évet mutat be egy nagy amerikai bank életében, és bemutatja, mennyire kockázatos ez az üzletág, valamint hogy a pénz ereje hogyan vonzza a rafinált karrieristákat és a hétköznapi bűnözőket. Kívülről az Első Amerikai Kereskedelmi Bank megbízhatóság templomának tűnik. Olyan vállalkozás, amelynek az emberek bizalommal adják át pénzüket, talán éppen olyan intézmény, ahol neked is van számlád. De a vonzó homlokzat mögött korrupció, képmutatás, alkalmatlanság és kapzsiság rejtőzik, amelyek veszélyeztetik a legértékesebb betétet – az ügyfelek bizalmát.
