She's not only scored one of the most highly coveted internships in all of Wall Street, she's also just met the head-over-heels love of her life. With her natural-born gift for numbers and a work ethic that knows no bounds, Faye is a shoo-in for a full-time position at the illustrious merchant bank Greene Brothers Hale. Then, just as she awaits her offer and her signing bonus, a treacherous betrayal arrives to shatter Faye's plans and her young life. But what her high finance masters-of-the-universe bosses don't know is that Faye isn't like any of the other interns. Having made her way past her humble small-town beginnings, for Faye, going back is not an option. That's why Faye now has a new plan. One that involves Swiss watch timing, nerves of steel and ten million dollars in cold hard Wall Street cash."
