What is the rising action of the story the big short?

Michael Burry had opened his own hedge fund, Scion Capital, after quitting a promising career as a neurologist. He had always explored finance in his spare time and had a rare talent for making predictions and dispensing good advice; when he opened his hedge fund, he had immediate success. But when Burry chose to bet against the subprime mortgage bond market, his investors balked. This seemed like a doomed plan, as everyone believed that the subprime mortgage bond market could never fail. Burry would go on to face an enormous backlash from his investors as he stuck with his plan. At the same time, he went through personal trials, such as finding out that his son had been diagnosed with Asperger’s, and that he most likely had the syndrome, as well. Nevertheless, he stuck with his bet.
