Summary

A small group of Wall Street guys figure out that the U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders and become more controlled by big Wall Street banks. Working at different firms, they come to this realization separately; but after they discover one another, the flash boys band together and set out to reform the financial markets by creating an exchange in which high-frequency trading will have no advantage whatsoever.
