Based on the true story behind the stock market crash of 1929 – which plunged the country and the world into the Great Depression – Dick Whitney, the newly appointed acting president of the NYSE, attempts to arrange a financial rescue package to avert the crash and save the global economy. But Whitney’s own ruinous investments and personal demons set him on a collision course with his brother George, the gatekeeper to J.P. Morgan, who is the key to preventing the crash.
