City Killing Trilogy

3 Linked dramas by Mike Walker. 2 x 45 mins, 1 - 5 x 15 minutes

Three linked dramas following the fortunes of four yound City traders in the days before and after the financial meltdown.

1: A Killing - 4 young traders decide to set up a new hedge fund. At first, they tread carefully, but as they gain confidence, they take more risks until they bet on "the big one". But what if it goes wrong?

2: A City Killing - The Hedge Fund is on its knees. Their only hope is to invest their remaining capital with Wall Street trader Harry Towers, the man who turns in fabulous returns, year after year. But when the tide goes out, who will be found to have been swimming naked? (The real life Harry Towers is obvious)

3) Scumdog Millionaire - For me, the weakest of the trilogy. The regulators want to know what went wrong, thus one of the traders is offered immunity from prosecution if he co-operates. But at what price?
