“The stakes have never been higher.”
In the cutthroat world of international finance, a group of young graduates compete for a limited set of permanent positions at a top investment bank in London. The boundaries between colleague, friend, lover, and enemy soon blur as they immerse themselves in a company culture defined as much by sex, drugs and ego as it is by deals and dividends.

Seasons
Season 1
The cutthroat world of international finance is seen through the eyes of a talented outsider fighting to prove her worth. Harper Stern, a determined young woman, finds herself among a group of enterprising young graduates vying to secure their futures at Pierpoint & Co., a leading bank in London.
Season 2
Picking up a year after the height of the pandemic, Season 2 finds the young professionals at Pierpoint & Co's London office dealing with a back to work or else mandate that leaves the trading floor more charged than ever. But to edge out the competition, Harper, Yasmin, and the other third-year analysts must drive new business and forge alliances both in and out of the office.
Season 3
In season three, as Pierpoint looks to the future and takes a big bet on ethical investing, Yasmin, Robert, and Eric find themselves front and center in the splashy IPO of Lumi, a green tech energy company led by Sir Henry Muck, in a story that runs all the way to the very top of finance, media, and government. Since leaving Pierpoint, Harper is eager to get back into the addictive thrill of finance and finds an unlikely partner in FutureDawn portfolio manager Petra Koenig.
