Charlie Wales is a fresh new trader that is involved with Silverbirch, a lucrative hedge fund. However while he is intelligent, Charlie is easily distracted by his fast paced new life. He's intrigued by the seductive Vero, a beautiful French woman, and by the lure of easy money and the excitement of a seemingly endless supply of drugs. His friends do little to dissuade him, as they appear to be caught up in the same type of habits and life that Charlie is experiencing. However as things proceed and Charlie sinks deeper into a life of excess and depravity, he discovers that this may end up leading to his own ruin- and he may not be able to extract himself before it happens.
