Nick Farmer is a thirty-five-year-old bond trader with Bear Stearns clearing seven-figures each year. The novelty of a work-related night life centering on liquor, hookers, and cocaine has long since worn thin, but Nick remains keenly addicted to his annual bonus. But the lifestyle is taking a toll on his marriage—and on him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a nerdy analyst approaches him with apocalyptic prognostications of where Bear's high-flying mortgage-backed securities trading may lead, Nick is presented with the kind of ethical dilemma he's spent a lifetime avoiding.
