The Private Sector

In the woods of rural Connecticut, Anticline Capital, America's fastest-growing hedge fund, is holding its annual new-hires retreat. Four of the nation's best and brightest are being groomed to work--and live--the Anticline way: with total focus, radical honesty, and hearts cleansed of the sort of emotions that slow them down--jealousy, fear, guilt, love. But between tent-pitching escapades and campfire dinners, these emotions prove harder to eliminate than expected. Illicit affairs linger, feelings are trampled upon, and rocks are sharpened in the dark. And Will Meritt, an English major from Princeton suddenly in way over his head, is faced with a choice between the woman he never should have fallen for and the job he never should have taken.

THE PRIVATE SECTOR is a bleak comedy about growing up in a baffling age. It's a story of modern-day Lost Boys, loaded with cash and steered by half-formed moral compasses, a slow descent from the bright lights of the conference room to the pitch-black of the woods.
