While others in Nina Godiwalla's Persian-Indian immigrant community were content to fulfil their parents' dreams, Nina's fierce ambition pulled her from Houston to New York to become a banker.

Showered with Broadway tickets and ferried around in sleek black town cars, Morgan Stanley recruits led a fast and flashy lifestyle, but at a steep cost. In a world where strip clubs took the place of conference rooms, Nina was driven to fit the mould of her fellow recruits: wealthy, white and male.
