Bad Banks

Having just lost her job at Crédit International, one of the Top European Investment banks, Jana Liekam unexpectedly receives help from her former boss Christelle, who gets her a job at a competitor’s in Frankfurt, but expects Jana to repay the favour.

Leblanc lures Jana with insider information about an billion-euro deal that the industry knows nothing of yet. But her offer comes with a price: Jana’s new employer is manipulating its balance sheet and Jana will need to provide evidence of this...

Jana’s research on Deutsche Global Invest is beginning to unveil its shady practices, but Leblanc wants more proof. In return, she supplies the investor Jana needs to close her current billion-euro deal – a British hedge fund manager, Felix Bender.

Jana finds out a secret merger is ongoing between her bank and Deutsche Global Invest, and that Leblanc knew all along and only used her to discredit Fenger. Jana refuses to help her, but Leblanc is ready to go the distance to get what she wants.

Jana continues to work to get her first major project a success, but her attempts to outsmart Leblanc backfires. Now sure to be dismissed from Deutsche Global Invest after she closes her deal, she ends up in over her head in a web of lies and corruption.

Jana’s latest poker strike leads to a financial crisis throughout Europe. Fenger takes all the blame for Deutsche Global Invest’s fall, Leblanc plays her cards to ensure her place at the top just as the Government takes over the merger negotiations.
