The novel unfolds as a compelling five act drama. Each of the first
four acts probes the lives of a distinctive character in turn,
exploring their mindset, their inner dreams and aspirations, and
the fascinating face they put on for the world to see. We see at
first hand what goes on behind the rigid mask that they each
present, and, as the story unravels, how their attitudes and
behaviour come to be shaped by a set of intriguing circumstances,
both within and outside their control. Along the way, we encounter
disturbing vignettes of a contemporary world that celebrates fame
and wealth, and shows only contempt for those struggling to keep
their life together from day to day. The turbulent characters in
the novel present some harsh insights into the realities of winning
or losing in Western societies today. The final act throws light in
the darkest of places, and uses it to tear off the actors' masks.
It lays bare egos and selfishness, victimhood and survival, as it
portrays the complexities of being human in a modern world. It sets
a turbulent scene of conflicting ideas and values, virtues and
sins, where there can only be one winner.
