A young stock broker is given the gift of knowing the future. But this soon turns to a dark and deadly curse when he crosses the man who granted him this power.
With a destitute childhood and the tragic loss of his parents a distant but constant memory, Jay Grady has come to Wall Street to make a name, and a fortune, for himself. But the success he’d imagined is frustratingly elusive.
