Thanks to Alexander Hamilton, America recovered from the financial panic of 1792, but the new country is still finding its way. When a young lawyer returns to America to prove his father's innocence, he exposes a massive financial fraud that the perpetrators are determined to keep secret at any cost. And reaching the highest levels, the looming crisis could topple the nation.
