When Vultures Dance follows Seth Farragut, a young hedge fund
manager, as his drive to take over a bankrupt auto supplier leads
to an indictment for insider trading. A "vulture" investor who
excels at highstakes trading of distressed companies' securities,
he makes decisions that all too easily cost others their jobs and
create plenty of enemies.
Under the influence of tough, attractive Lauren Hayward, he bets
everything on the survival of a small Chicago manufacturing company
that could, if he can rescue it, be his career-making score. But
his quest spawns an attempted murder, suicide, and the prospect of
years in prison.
Seth is more than a Type-A, fast trading up-and-comer. He is a
loner who increasingly questions what he does for a living after
seeing first-hand the consequences of his actions. He finally meets
someone who opens him up to love and a life beyond trading and
money. Meanwhile, in the background, Wall Street is in turmoil as
the economy tumbles. When Vultures Dance explores themes that are
all over today's news: the growing divide between the haves and
have-nots, the rule of capitalists over the shrinking blue collar
work force, and the stupendous wealth accumulation by a very few.
Goodwin's eye for detail brings the headlines to life.
