Equity

Naomi Bishop (Anna Gunn, AMC’s Breaking Bad) is an investment banker at a highly competitive Wall Street firm who has been stuck in the same, thankless—yet lucrative—position for too long. Coming off a disastrous IPO weeks before, Naomi is strategizing a new, massive tech offering that could make or break her career. On top of the day-to-day wheeling and dealing of a male-dominated Wall Street—where she’s forced to work for an ego-maniacal, chauvinistic boss (Lee Tergesen, HBO’s Oz)—she must also try to juggle an almost nonexistent personal life, as well as oversee the actions of her young, up-and-coming VP, Erin (Sarah Megan Thomas, who also co-produced and has a story credit on the film). When an old college friend (Alysia Reiner, Netflix’s Orange is the New Black), a prosecutor working for the city, starts sniffing around the firm, the pressure to succeed with the IPO and bring in a cash landslide becomes even greater. Directed by Meera Menon (Farah Goes Bang) and produced by Reiner, Equity is a Wall Street drama, but not one about corruption, crime, or catastrophe. It’s about women who thrive on competition and ambition, deals and strategy, but who must carefully calibrate every aspect of their lives, professional and private, to stay equal in the game.
