Plot

Peg Dahl is born in Buffalo, New York to a low-class family. Disappointed in her family's financial situation and inspired by her late father's tendency to hustle, she looks for ways to make money. Through her childhood she studies economics and works small money-making schemes with a plan to attend an Ivy League school and work on Wall Street.

When she gets into a good college but can't afford it, she begins selling fake tickets to Bills games. She is eventually caught and is sentenced to forty months in prison. Peg is released from prison and begins working at a local debt collection firm to pay off her own legal debt. She rises to the top but is cheated by the owner of the firm and decides to start her own debt collection business.

Her firm is successful, but pressure builds between her and her former employer and creates problems in her personal life. Eventually, she and her family are arrested. She takes a deal and works with the police to take down the other debt collection agencies. Before being taken back into custody, she burns thousands of debt sheets and gets put into prison for destruction of evidence. In prison she teaches finance to other inmates.

Peg is eventually released from prison and returns to her family where she invests in hedge funds.
