A new hire at a bank, Jerry teeters between life as a cyborg and as a revolutionary battling Wall Street corruption . . . as if she didn't have enough to worry about hiding from a dark past.For Jerry, New York in its heyday means hanging with the guys, finding nothing but users, and developing a sex addiction. Then the economic crisis descends like a prang mantis devouring its mate at the moment of ecstasy -- and the bank sets her up. Not one to let homeowners down or push clients to invest in the stocks the bank is trying to dump, Jerry is convinced she can outsmart the machine. With the help of Occupy Wall Street, she spreads the word through the human microphone. There's little prospect of finding another job when Jerry blows the whistle . . .
