Zwei Brüder planen einen Milliardencoup – ihr Einsatz: das Leben. Mike Ford, unabhängiger Berater und Anwalt, steht kurz vor seiner Hochzeit mit Annie Clark, Tochter aus bestem Hause. Weil er einen Trauzeugen braucht, nimmt Mike zum ersten Mal nach Jahren wieder Kontakt zu seinem Bruder Jack auf. Anders als Mike, der seine kriminelle Vergangenheit hinter sich gelassen hat, hält Jack sich nach wie vor mit schmutzigen Geschäften über Wasser. Als Jack deshalb in Schwierigkeiten gerät, wird Mike von den Auftraggebern seines Bruders erpresst. Mike soll die aktuelle Direktive der US-Notenbank beschaffen, die den amerikanischen Leitzins regelt, und zwar bevor diese an die Öffentlichkeit gelangt. Wer im Besitz dieser Insiderinformationen ist, kann mit Milliardengewinnen an der Börse rechnen. Beschafft Mike diese Direktive nicht, stirbt Annie. So planen die Ford-Brüder den größten Coup ihres Lebens: einen Einbruch in die New Yorker Zentralbank. Ein packender, penibel recherchierter Thriller um ein tödliches Katz-und-Maus-Spiel.

Wenn der Traumjob zum Albtraum wird. Mike Ford hat seine kriminelle Jugend hinter sich gelassen und es bis nach Harvard geschafft. Neben dem Jurastudium arbeitet er jede freie Minute in einer Bar, um seinen Schuldenberg abzutragen. Bis ihn sein Dozent Henry Davies mit viel Geld in seine Beraterfirma lockt: Mikes neuer Boss ist ein Haifisch im politischen Becken von Washington. Zu seinen Klienten gehören die 500 mächtigsten Männer des Landes, und sein Geschäftsmodell besteht darin, jede Leiche im Keller dieser Männer zu kennen, um sie gefügig zu machen und ihren Einfluss zu nutzen. Jede Methode ist ihm recht, und Mike ist sein Mann fürs Grobe. Als der die Machenschaften durchschaut, steckt er schon bis zum Hals im tödlichen Spiel um Macht und Geld. Sein einziger Ausweg besteht darin, Davies’ dunkle Geheimnisse aufzudecken und ihn mit den eigenen Waffen zu schlagen. Ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit beginnt, und um den zu gewinnen, muss Mike lügen, stehlen, betrügen und vielleicht sogar töten.
