"Ball Street takes us back to October 19, 1987 -- aka Black Monday -- one of the worst stock market crashes in the history of Wall Street. To this day, no one knows who or what caused it," a news release from the cable network said. "Ball Street is the story of how a bunch of fearless underdogs took on the blue-blood, old-boys club of Wall Street. Among the intrepid traders who make up the group led by Cheadle's character are Dawn, the no-nonsense head of trading and the only woman on the team."
