By Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar

In a remote cell on the outskirts of Pakistan, American banker Nick Bright has been kidnapped by a militant group seeking to ransom him for millions. But when it becomes clear that no one is coming to pay, Nick offers his captors an unthinkable deal: let him use his knowledge of global finance to raise his own ransom—through the stock market.

As the money starts to roll in, the group's original cause begins to blur, power shifts hands, and the true cost of greed reveals itself. What begins as a desperate bid for freedom spirals into a dangerous game of manipulation, betrayal, and the unstoppable seduction of wealth.

The Invisible Hand is a gripping financial thriller from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar ( Disgraced ), exploring the high-stakes intersection of global politics and personal survival. Tense, timely, and razor-sharp, this edge-of-your-seat drama asks:
When money is power... who's really in control?
