For years, the D'Amico family has enjoyed an idyllic life in Greenwich, Connecticut. Isabel D'Amico is widely envied and respected, and her husband, Bob, rules his Manhattan investment bank ruthlessly. But in the fall of 2008, the women of this community are swept up in a national crisis. In the wake of Bob's public downfall, they must learn to negotiate power on their own terms and ultimately ask themselves what, if anything, is worth saving. So begins Our Little Racket, an examination of men, women, money, and culpability in the highest echelons of American society. As Bob's headstrong teenage daughter, Madison, begins to probe her father's heretofore secret life for information, she and the four other women close to her watch their roles shift in a community that has kept them protected but so often sidelined. Forced to acknowledge the fragile foundations of their world, they are met with another painful question: where is the line between willful ignorance and unspoken complicity?
