The French novelist Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) said “Behind every great fortune there is a crime.” Fast forward to 1995. The Internet highway opens the path to virtual wealth and the male dominated Spland & Company, LLC capital investment group is out to get its share—and they’re not about to let a little thing like integrity get in their way. But an absurd Ponzi scheme is no match for the ghost of Louie Lampadder, a gangster stockbroker murdered in the 1920’s who haunts the Spland & Company offices. When the Company’s bright young financial editor, Jenna Jansen, gets suspicious of their wrongdoings, she joins forces with research associate Annette and longtime office secretary Lucy to get even with the inept men who make their lives miserable on a daily basis. When their plot to poke a hole in the growing dot com bubble before it blows up in their faces falls short, Louie steps in with a fail-safe solution and sets the whole Spland & Company mainframe on fire.
