He rose like a rocket. He fell like a legend.
Lucas Carter was the golden boy of Wall Street—a self-made financial prodigy who clawed his way from a cramped apartment to billion-dollar boardrooms. With charm, instinct, and an uncanny ability to see market trends before they happened, he transformed his firm into a powerhouse and himself into a media darling. They called him The Oracle of Wall Street. And he believed them.
But greatness demands risk—and Lucas was never afraid to bet big.
When a mysterious biotech startup unveils what they claim is a cure for Alzheimer’s, Lucas sees his next empire in the making. He goes all in: draining his firm’s reserves, leveraging personal assets, even persuading his elite clients to follow his lead. For a brief, dazzling moment, it looks like he’s won again.
Until the trials fail.
In a single night, Lucas’s fortune vanishes. Lawsuits. Margin calls. Betrayals. The king of Wall Street is dethroned—humiliated, bankrupt, and alone.
Back in his childhood apartment, Lucas must confront the truth behind his ambition, the cost of his pride, and the emptiness of a life built on numbers. But from the ashes of collapse, something unexpected begins to rise: wisdom, purpose—and perhaps, redemption.
The Oracle of Wall Street is a riveting tale of ambition, excess, and the haunting price of chasing glory in a world ruled by risk.
