Synopsis

Andrea Hoffman is an overeducated, underemployed, and unmotivated recent 
college graduate until a harrowing robbery blasts her out of her funk and 
into a job in the finance world of early-1980s Chicago. At first, it seems like a bad fit.  
But the world of finance has its own weird charm, and she grows increasingly 
fascinated by the strange language of trading, the complexity of the stock market, 
and her colleagues, who navigate it all with ruthless confidence. Even though she 
has two strikes against her - Jewish and female- Andrea’s quick wit 
and strong work ethic propels her into an actual sales job and her career takes off. 
But this is the Wall Street of the eighties, and along with making a lot more money, 
Andrea adopts a new, fast life of cocktails, cocaine, and casual sex. Drunk on her 
achievements, she gradually realizes, she’s going to have to 
decide what success really means to her.
