The Morning Glory Gang — Pat Patterson

Three local businessmen recruit Jason Eisenberg, a market savvy high school teacher, to guide their stock investment club. After much success, Jason is fired for trading during class time, so he becomes a day-trader. The club rides the wave of Tech Stocks to make a million. On the day the NASDAQ tumbles, however, Jason freezes at the controls and loses it all. As an afterthought, he robs a bank to meet his margin call. Soon they all join in, robbing banks on their way to work. The Atlanta press dubs them The Morning Glory Gang, and what begins as an act of desperation becomes a high stakes game as the robberies become more frequent and more violent. All goes well with the gang until Annabelle Whaley enters the picture. Belle, an African American detective, was just passed over for a promotion and she is spoiling for a fight.
