When Senior investment banker Naomi Bishop (Anna Gunn) is passed over for a promotion at her firm, she fights for the opportunity to take a start-up public, hoping this promising IPO will secure her a place at the firm's highest level. But when an employee at the start-up raises questions about a possible crack in the company's walls, Naomi must decide whether to investigate rumors that may compromise the deal, or push forward with the confidence her superiors expect.

Soon Naomi finds herself tangled in a web of deception and office politics and begins to question if there is anyone she can trust. As the IPO draws closer, Naomi sees that the choices she has made for her career have left her very much alone. Forced to reexamine the rules of the cutthroat world she has always loved she finds herself in a fight for her very survival.

Surprisingly good.

So, I'm not sure why, but I didn't have very high expectations. To say it's got a line up of quasi B-list actors would not be fair. But to be honest it ran through my mind. But I took a shot and was completely surprised. I was engaged from the beginning. Everyone is on point and drives an intriguing plot that kept my interest from start to finish!
