Emily, once the underground legend Ghost Hand, left high-stakes gambling to nurse her sick mother and vanished into an investment-bank internship. In secret she built probability models that powered her boyfriend Alexander's swift climb to the top of the firm. He rewarded her by dumping her for heiress Victoria, claiming the algorithms as his own and deriding her mother's illness. Now Emily operates from the shadows, turning the same analytical edge that built Alexander against him.
