First State Bank and Distrust of Hinkley County

Hinkley County is a small Midwestern town struggling to deal with the strong arm of the federal government. The local bankers, feeling frustration over an unwanted injection of T.A.R.P. funds, draw colorful characters into a criminal plot to defraud the banking system. And the butterfly effects of their antics won’t stop at the city border. From the private meeting rooms of the Hinkley Country Club to the White House and the set of the Oprah Winfrey Show, everyone is a target for good satire. But don’t worry—the good guy always wins.
