James Alexander is hell-bent on success. But success at what? His prodigious intellect points to a bright future in academia with his poetess girlfriend, Sarah. But growing up on a hardscrabble farm in Tennessee has him hankering for wealth and status. His frat buddy, Lark, convinces him that in 1985 Wall Street is the quickest way to get there.
The two start a hedge fund and get rich quick. James seeks to take advantage of all that Manhattan has to offer, partying and club-hopping with a crowd of social climbers, financiers, artistes, fashionistas, and euro-trash aristocrats, 80's beautiful people. But lover-of-poetry that he is, James can't forget Sarah. She, his fading literary aspirations, and a graffiti artist named Michel Baptiste will haunt him as he scales Manhattan's canyons of avarice.
Michael Goodwin brings to living color the rollicking and flamboyant 1980s Manhattan. And what better place and time to explore themes of greed, love, and a young man's search for himself?
