He quickly rises through the ranks, becoming a partner in a major investment bank. But as the decade draws to a close, the stock market crashes and Adam loses everything.

Undeterred, Adam rebuilds his fortune and becomes even more powerful than before. He is now a major player in the world of finance, and he uses his wealth and influence to shape the course of history. But as Adam's power grows, so does his hubris.
