Set against the backdrop of late 19th century American finance, the story follows Frank Cowperwood, an ambitious banker navigating the turbulent worlds of business and social expectations in Philadelphia. As he engages in various financial schemes, his relentless pursuit of wealth leads to moral dilemmas that impact his relationships and ultimately contribute to his downfall.
