Penetrating into the narrative
Let’s start with mentioning the principal parts of this story. So they are Bobby “Axe” Axelrod and Chuck Rhoades. They are at loggerheads. The very idea of the story lies in the reason of this conflict. Bobby is reckoned to be a hedge fund boss while Chuck serves as the tough US Attorney General for the Southern District of New York. The latter one doesn’t believe in wealthy criminals buying their way of repercussions for their crimes.
