James Drayton has always found things too easy. Ambitious, brilliant, disciplined--he graduates with a top first from Oxford. His former classmate Roland Mackenzie, on the other hand, is an impulsive dreamer: charming and restless. When Roland takes a job at the same firm as James, the two men only vaguely remember one another. But as the financial crisis starts to unfold, a chance encounter sparks an idea, and an unlikely partnership begins to take shape.
