The notorious corporate raider Ivan Boesky once said, "There's a sucker in every deal, and if you're in the deal, and you don't know who the sucker is, chances are it's you." In this financial thriller, Jack Cole finds it out the hard way. He is an analyst at an investment banking firm stuck in a stalled career. That is until a seemingly chance social meeting with the owner of his firm propels him to the center of a high stakes conspiracy. Jack sees all his dreams come true and then loses everything. He embarks on an odyssey of self-discovery, which keelhauls him through the seedy underbelly of New York City, and renders him homeless, before ultimately granting him redemption.
