Summary
A wealthy Wall Street bond trader's life unravels after he and his mistress take a wrong turn into the Bronx and are involved in a hit-and-run accident injuring a young Black man. As an opportunistic tabloid reporter, an ambitious prosecutor, and a publicity-seeking reverend seize on the case, the trader becomes the centerpiece of a media and political firestorm exposing the vanities of 1980s New York.
