Corruption

Set in the vicious world of high finance, Corruption explores a topical subject - insider-dealing. To the uninitiated, this illegal practice involves using sensitive, confidential and privileged company information to make a huge profit by buying and selling shares on the Stock Exchange. Buy when the shares are cheap and are going to rise suddenly - before a takeover bid - and sell when the shares are expected to make a sharp drop - just before a company goes bankrupt. The plot thickens with the additional shady dealings in drugs - especially cocaine - which high-powered executives snort through silver straws.
