Robert ""Ditto"" Roberts III conspires with four of the firm's top associates — Marty Decker, Corey Granville, Alison Jeffers, and Marissa Rufo — to make a break from Merriweather Marx & Co., one of Wall Street's most venerable and successful firms. Only one thing stands in their way: the tough-as-nails titan of Merriweather Marx, Robert ""the Kaiser"" Roberts, who also happens to be Ditto's grandfather. Ditto's business plan seems solid, but when news of their rebellion leaks to the press, it turns their six-month scheme into an overnight scramble that leaves Wall Street reeling.
