It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their iIlusions, Ioves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without of the worId he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
