Financially-savvy Essex girl, Lucy, is desperate to get promoted and be successful. Despite her phenomenal talent with figures and natural instinct for wise investments, she has no formal education and a crippling lack of self-belief.
While Lucy spends her days making millions for her boss Iain Ebelthite’s clients, he spends his days sitting back and taking credit for all of her hard work.
Lucy is married to her childhood sweetheart, Bob, an unambitious, chauvinistic builder who sees her as a trophy wife and disapproves of her burgeoning career.
