The Dust Bowl Devil

In the grimy heart of 1930s New York, promising young banker Elias Thorne is on the cusp of having it all. But he is betrayed by his ambitious partner, Marcus Vance, who frames him for a catastrophic financial fraud, stealing his fortune, his reputation, and his fiancée, Eleanor. Condemned to a brutal federal penitentiary, Elias endures years of despair until he befriends 'The Professor,' a disgraced Wall Street titan. The old man schools Elias in the dark arts of economics, market manipulation, and the psychology of power. Upon his miraculous escape, armed with a hidden fortune bequeathed by his mentor, Elias re-emerges as the enigmatic and untouchable billionaire, 'Mr. Sterling.' From his skyscraper throne, he wages a silent war, not with bullets, but with whispers on the stock exchange and carefully orchestrated scandals that dismantle Marcus's empire piece by piece. His revenge is a slow, cold poison, forcing his enemies to experience the same crushing hopelessness he once knew, but the line between justice and cruelty blurs with every victory.
