V roku 2015 ste mohli v Amerike dostať sto percentnú hypotéku na luxusnú vilu s dvadsiatimi spálňami a bazénom a nikto sa vás nepýtal či ju dokážete a máte z čoho splácať. Excentrický finančník a fanúšik heavy metalu Michael Burry si uvedomil, že podobných riskantných hypoték je tak veľa, že sa môžu stať časovanou bombou, ktorá skôr či neskôr odpáli celú americkú ekonomiku. Vyvinul preto dômyselný finančný nástroj, ktorý mu mal prihrať obrovský balík peňazí v prípade, že hypotekárna bublina praskne a investoval do neho celý majetok. Stávka na neistotu sa mu sa trom podobným vizionárom vyplatila a tri roky neskôr, kedy milióny Američanov prišli o strechu nad hlavou a o prácu a naviac zo svojich daní kryli straty nenažraných bánk.

Na začátku 21. století byla Wall Street v rozpuku a oslavovala rekordně vysoké bonusy, mnohamilionové platy a rostoucí trh s nemovitostmi. Jenže v roce 2008 se všechno zhroutilo. Na podzim zažil finanční systém po letech deregulace volný pád, spolu se všemi vvýhodnými hypotékami. Přese všechny varovné signály nikdo nevěřil, že by finanční instituce mohly být v ohrožení. Trh se propadal hlouběji a začalo být jasné, že banky jsou příliš velké na to, aby vyhlásily bankrot. Hrozba však přišla z jiné strany a globální katastrofa byla na dosah, v měřítku, které se nikdo neodvážil ani předpokládat.
