A group of newly hired graduates arrive at a prestigious London investment bank, each hoping to convert a brutal internship into a permanent job. They work long hours on high-stakes deals while personal boundaries collapse under stress, ambition and office politics. Relationships shift quickly from friendship to rivalry, and private mistakes can become public liabilities. The show tracks how inexperience, ego and desire for status shape choices at work and at home, without revealing finales or major plot twists.

Released in 2020, the series was created by Konrad Kay and Mickey Down and features Myha'la as Harper Stern, Marisa Abela as Yasmin Kara-Hanani, Ken Leung as Eric Tao, Sagar Radia as Rishi Ramdani and Irfan Shamji as Anraj Chabra.

Recurring themes include ambition, ethical compromise, identity and the emotional costs of high-pressure careers, along with tensions around race, gender and mental health.

While it didn't sweep major awards, the show drew steady critical attention for its ensemble and realism, helping it build a dedicated audience and ongoing debate about how workplaces reward or punish behavior. The cast performances, especially by Myha'la and Marisa Abela, were frequently noted as highlights in reviews.
