Season 2
Picking up a year after the height of the pandemic, Season 2 finds the young professionals at Pierpoint & Co's London office dealing with a back to work or else mandate that leaves the trading floor more charged than ever. But to edge out the competition, Harper, Yasmin, and the other third-year analysts must drive new business and forge alliances both in and out of the office.

In season three, as Pierpoint looks to the future and takes a big bet on ethical investing, Yasmin, Robert, and Eric find themselves front and center in the splashy IPO of Lumi, a green tech energy company led by Sir Henry Muck, in a story that runs all the way to the very top of finance, media, and government. Since leaving Pierpoint, Harper is eager to get back into the addictive thrill of finance and finds an unlikely partner in FutureDawn portfolio manager Petra Koenig.

At the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper and Yasmin are drawn into a high stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene.
