English Summary/英文概要： Kate Brewster’s quest to become the first woman to run a Wall Street institution is about to come to fruition. Wooed away from a top job at a competing firm by Ed Roth with promises of breaking the glass ceiling when she succeeds him as the head of the investment bank Drake Carlson, Kate learns that she has real potential for the top spot. First, she must prove her worth by putting together an unconventional IPO for a small games maker whose most valuable, but unknown, asset may be a painting stolen from a Jewish family as they fled Austria after the Nazi invasion.
Kate’s professional challenges play out amid a family crisis: her husband’s company is imploding and he may have to relocate to a remote part of China to save even a small portion of his business. Her integrity is challenged when she’s accused of slowing down a deal to sell her husband’s company to divert the sizeable sales commission to Drake, her new company. As a result, Kate uncovers an illegal trading scheme involving her partners, and their downfall triggers another firm’s attempt at a hostile takeover of Drake.
Against seemingly impossible odds, Kate is able to strike a balance between the demands of the deal she is running and the right of a patriarch’s family to seek closure for wounds that date back generations.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 凯特.布鲁斯特（Kate Brewster）变成经营华尔街公共机构的第一女性的追求就要梦想成真了。一家叫做Ed Roth充满竞争力的公司上层将她挖过来，承诺如果她能帮他成功地当上Drake Carlson投资银行的总裁，一定会让她升职。凯特知道自己拥有成为第一女性的潜力。首先，她必须证明自己的价值，为一个小游戏制作者的价值不菲，但却不为人知的资产，一幅纳粹入侵之后从逃亡奥地利的一个犹太家庭偷取的油画，召集了一次非传统的首次公开募投，
凯特的职业挑战在一场家庭危机中显现出来：她丈夫的公司接近内部破产，他必须搬到遥远的中国地区去拯救他甚至一小部分的产业。当她被指控进行一场为转移相当大的销售佣金给Drake即她的新公司，而卖掉了她丈夫的公司的交易，她的正直被挑战了。结果，凯特揭露了她合伙人牵涉到一桩不合法的贸易阴谋中，他们的垮台导致另一家公司不怀好意地接管Drake的尝试。 看起来几乎没有什么胜算，凯特确实有能力在她正经营的交易要求和一个元老家庭寻求终止几代以来伤痛的权利两者间达到平衡。(XMM)
