Moe Boss has spent his life being too sensitive for the systems that employ him and too unreliable for the people who love him. When a hesitation at a London trading desk ends his career, he retreats to his late mother's flat and discovers notebooks that reveal a hidden life of prayer, discipline, and strange wisdom written in the language of markets.

Drawn into a small Thursday circle in Dalston, Moe begins to understand that failure may not be the opposite of worth. As money, shame, love, and ambition return in new forms, he must learn whether a man mispriced by the world can become honest enough to live without needing the world's approval.
