Blessed be the Billionaires

In the near future, Oligarchs have consolidated so much wealth that the rest of the world survives by renting from them. Sadie doesn’t accept this new classism and is determined to own a part in the future. When she stumbles across something valuable, she does the unthinkable and cashes it in for a house. It feels like justice, until her dream becomes her undoing. Meanwhile, rising activist Nishanthi sparks a global debate by campaigning to cap personal wealth at nine million euros. At first, this sounds ridiculous, but multiple nations move to accept the legislation. The Oligarchs are incensed, and multinational executive Garrett is tasked with sabotaging her movement by fabricating evidence of corruption. The backlash is swift. Allegations surface. Careers implode. Bodies and reputations are disfigured. When Sadie, Nishanthi, and Garrett find themselves thrown together in an Amsterdam prison, the debate over wealth becomes personal. Sadie faces the loss of everything she has strived for. Nishanthi tries to come to grips with what was taken from her, and Garrett is forced to confront the kind of man he has become. Outside the prison walls, the balance of power is shifting—and those who once owned everything are not ready to let go. But capitalism is not a law of nature. It is a system. And systems can be rewritten. Or can they?
