The narrative unfolds in a world of finance, secrecy, and personal ambition, showcasing the struggles and aspirations of individuals entangled in the pursuit of wealth. At the start of the book, we see Bellingham grappling with his financial difficulties while observing the opulent life of his employer, Hamilton. A game of hide and seek with Hamilton's young son leads him to witness something mysterious: Hamilton's clandestine departure through a hidden passage in the household. As Bellingham's curiosity piques, he becomes increasingly aware of the complexities around him, including the machinations of the financial elite and his own desperate need for money.
