Jay Winslow pushes a mail cart across the trading floor of a Wall Street firm where nobody bothers to learn his name. Then a shredded presentation and a wrong turn through the back alleys drop him into a basement beneath the financial district, where a ragged man called Waldo listens to the wires in the walls and offers him a stock tip that shouldn't be possible.
It hits. So does the next one.
Suddenly Jay is climbing, out of the mailroom and into Henderson's inner circle, where every deal moves a little faster and asks a little less permission. Each trip back downstairs costs him something, handed over as casually as the tie off his neck. Sally, the woman running a food line in the alley above, watches him disappear one late night at a time. And Waldo is changing too, sharpening into a man with a past that looks uncomfortably like Jay's future.
Jay got everything he asked for. The only question left is what kind of man he'll be when the winning stops.
