Laurel Ayres is a smart, hard working business woman working on Wallstreet. She's good at her job, really good, but she's a woman and try as she might, she can't seem to get ahead in "man's world".
After being passed over for a promotion she rightfully deserves, Laurel leaves her job and sets out to start her own investment firm, but she can't seem to get any clients... that is, until she takes on a partner. Tired of potential clients dismissing her endeavors because she's a she with no male counterpart, she invents one; Robert Cutty. Laurel and Cutty take Wallstreet by storm and soon Laurel finds the validation of all her hard work; the only problem is, Cutty's getting all the credit and Laurel has to figure out how you kill someone that doesn't exist?
