Axelrod, outwardly a philanthropic billionaire, is secretly not averse to a little insider trading to increase his firm’s enormous wealth.
He’s locked in a game of cat and mouse with Paul Giamatti’s shrewd US Attorney Chuck Rhoades, who goes after Axelrod when evidence of the billionaire’s financial shenanigans turns up.
Caught in the middle is Rhoades’ wife Wendy, played by Maggie Siff, a psychiatrist who works for Bobby as the in-house performance coach and helped him build up his company long before her husband became US Attorney.
