Bobby "Axe" Axelrod is a charismatic 9/11 survivor who heads up Axe Capital ("Axe Cap"), a hedge fund based in Connecticut. Spyros of the SEC asks Chuck Rhoades, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to investigate him. Because of his philanthropy Axe has public support and is a bit of a folk hero, making Rhoades cautious to take Axe on. In addition, Chuck's wife, Wendy, works as a motivational coach/psychiatrist at Axe Cap, and the prospect of Chuck investigating her boss causes tension between them. Chuck decides to bait Axe into buying an expensive oceanfront house[8] to turn public favor against him. Meanwhile, Axe realizes that an old friend, Dan Margolis, is cooperating with the FBI. Axe and his fixer, Hall, move to frame another trader, Steven Birch, for Axe's wrongdoing. Axe and Chuck finally meet face-to-face at an investment conference. Axe buys the house, but is told by Hall that the FBI have opened a case against him. | |||||||

Rhoades' office publicly begins investigating Steven Birch's practices, and Bobby is aware he is likely next. He hires a team to evaluate ethics and monitor for areas where they are vulnerable and as a result he fires Victor Mateo - a top trader, and in so doing creates an enemy. Hall blackmails a member of Rhoades' office to spy on their progress in the case against Bobby. Bobby sets his sights on naming rights to a prominent symphony hall building. He uses the current benefactor's financial failings against them to buy them out as payback for an unfair slight they committed against him in his youth. | |||||||

Bryan Connerty begins a sexual affair with FBI Agent Terry McCue as they investigate broker Pete Decker over illegal deals he coerced his parents to invest in, with a direct connection to Bobby. Lara Axelrod goes after June Reichlein, widow of a colleague of Bobby's who died in the 9/11 attacks. June is publishing a book on their hedge fund directly affected by the attacks, and the book threatens to expose the trades that made Bobby billionaire-wealthy in the aftermath. Bobby is poised to invest in Yum Time, a packaged cake manufacturer from his youth, and discovers that the recipes were changed to cut costs and have altered the flavors of their products. A side strategy of Bobby's ploy into Yum Time is to successfully remove Evelyn Benson, the mistress of Rhoades' father, Charles Rhoades, Sr., from the Yum Time Board of Directors, and to subsequently obtain her seat on the board. | |||||||

Axe is out of prison, but is separated from Lara. Dake, now U.S. Attorney of the Eastern District, is prosecuting the case with Connerty, and have frozen all of Axe's capital, which leaves Taylor, now Chief Investment Officer of Axe Capital in a bad position. Taylor informs all the employees that they must come up with ideas for an "idea meeting" where the top hedge fund managers meet to discuss strategy, and Axe needs an idea to dazzle them all. Spyros is the new Head of Compliance at Axe Capital. Lara comes in with Steven Birch to check on the assets at Axe Capital, leaving Axe frustrated at the state of his marriage. To unfreeze Axe's capital, he must give up his licence to trade, temporarily, an idea he's very uncomfortable with, as he doesn't know where that puts him regarding the firm. He eventually relents, just as Taylor realizes a good play regarding smart chip technology, and subs in for Axe at the idea's dinner. Chuck's friendship with Ira falls apart, as Ira informs him he'll never speak to him again.

Meanwhile, due to a freak Tsunami in Brazil, Axe's investments are looking down for the day, something Taylor can't have, seeing as Axe has already cordoned off $2 billion, a move seen as lack of confidence in Taylor, but Wags sees through it as a way for Axe to be able to trade by proxy. Meanwhile, Connerty is having his own issues as after confronting Victor Mateo's maid, Maria Gonzalez, who spiked her Ice Juice and drank it on video, Victor realizes she's been compromised, and Axe directs the new replacements for Hall to get rid of her, by having her arrested by ICE, and expediting her deportation. The new AG is not sympathetic to Dake's issues, and refuses to help.

An argument ensues between Dake and Connerty, with Connerty wanting to know why Dake is trying to cover for Chuck. Meanwhile, Taylor has decided to hire Quant traders at the firm, a decision everyone wrestles with, as they see themselves being slowly pushed out. After several interviews with prominent quants, Taylor realizes that even Wags has been plotting against them by planting a quant who's algorithm merely gave data to support any trades done, to avoid any suspicion of insider trading. Taylor realizes that finding a quant won't do, and decides to create one from within Axe Capital, one that they will oversee. Axe makes a visit to failed hedge fund manager, Michael Panay, and convinces him to be his proxy trader, and sets him up with his oldest client, the NYPD's pension-fund manager, who gets a cut from the trade. | |||||||
