He hopes to help alert small investors to the dangers of certain companies listed on the Stock Exchange by writing what he was promised would be an anonymous article for a leading investment publication in which he criticises what he felt was the cynical approach of the City establishment.

Then he is shocked to hear that the article is published with full disclosure of his name and his employers. Events move rapidly as his personal and work life are on a collission course for disaster and he is left much chastened in an altogether different version of his life in a very short space of time.
