Tom è un giovane trader che lavora in una banca londinese, ma le sue recenti prestazioni sul lavoro, rivelandosi alquanto deludenti, lo hanno messo in una posizione precaria e malvista agli occhi degli altri colleghi. Quando il primo aereo colpisce il World Trade Center la mattina dell’11 settembre 2001, Tom è convinto che si tratti di un attacco terroristico, non di un incidente. È così che inizia la più grande scommessa della sua vita…
