But the seemingly flashy and glamorous world of wealthy men has hidden secrets, so dark and so diabolical, and it took Oscar only one week to realise.

Tasked with finding his missing father and staying alive, Oscar couldn't tell whether he was better off wealthy or middle class. ______ The story starts like any other urban novel but proceeds slowly, leaving hints for future events to look forward to.
