After being fired, Jana Likam, a talented young investment banker, took a job in Frankfurt under the supervision of Gabriel Wenger, head of investment banking at Deutsche Invest. During this period, Jana began to convince Wenger and his team with her passion and ambition of the new business but Christelle Leblanc, her former boss at Crédit International, was pulling strings in order to catch Jana.
The buttoned-up series begins loosening its collar by episode two - mostly because these bloodthirsty sharks stop hiding their contempt for each other.
With a wardrobe as sharp as her haircut, Jana [Liekam] operates with savvy strategy; Paula Beer plays her intriguingly as a woman whose emotions frequently threaten to spill over, rather than a number-crunching automaton.
