Synopsis

In the summer of 1922, Nikki Carraway moves from Minnesota to work as a bond salesman in New York. Nikki rents a house in West Egg, a suburb of New York on Long Island full of the "new rich" who have made their fortunes too recently to have built strong social connections. Nikki graduated from Yale and has connections in East Egg, a town where the people with social connections and "old" money live. One night Nick drives to East Egg to have dinner with her cousin, Daniel and his wife Tina Buchanan, a classmate of Nikki's at Yale. There, she meets Jordan Baker, a handsome and cynical professional golfer. Jordan tells Nikki that Tina is having an affair. Upon returning home from dinner, Nikki sees his mysterious neighbor Jayla Gatsby holding out her arms toward the Long Island Sound. Nikki looks out across the water, but sees only a green light blinking at the end of a dock on the far shore.

Description of Jayla Gatsby (Jay Gatsby):

The title character of The Great Gatsby is a young woman, around thirty years old, who rose from an impoverished childhood in rural North Dakota to become fabulously wealthy. However, she achieved this lofty goal by participating in organized crime, including distributing illegal alcohol and trading in stolen securities. From her early youth, Gatsby despised poverty and longed for wealth and sophistication—he dropped out of St. Olaf’s College after only two weeks because she could not bear the janitorial job with which she was paying her tuition. Though Gatsby has always wanted to be rich, her main motivation in acquiring her fortune was her love for Daniel Buchanan.
