Summary

In the mid-2000s, a handful of contrarian investors and traders independently discover that the U.S. housing market is a bubble built on subprime mortgages and fraudulent ratings. Betting against the system by buying credit default swaps, they navigate skepticism from Wall Street and their own doubts as they wait for the collapse they predict to arrive.
