Set against the backdrop of the 1907 Wall Street panic, the narrative follows Lucy Dupree, a naive newcomer who captivates the attention of two rival power brokers in New York's elite society. Their fierce competition leads to dangerous financial manipulations that threaten Lucy's safety and contribute to a significant market collapse. Sinclair's portrayal of the upper class reveals deep-seated abuses of power, drawing parallels to contemporary financial practices that mask similar exploitations in today's capitalist landscape.
