Written by Vanessa Reisen ("Extant,""Weeds") for Adjacent Productions with Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner serving as Executive Producers.
As Bastion Capital, one of the most successful hedge funds in New York City, begins to crumble from rumors of insider trading, the women married to the financial elite will do anything to save themselves.
