Conceived from rape, unwanted, and born homeless to a drug-addicted mother always on the run, Alexander Bledsoe's destiny seemed grim from the day he was born. One day he learns destiny is nothing more than a game - one in which only those with the most power win. Armed with this knowledge, Alex sets his sights on gaining as much power as possible the only way he knows how - by becoming a businessman.
Encouraged by a few positive influencers who appear in his life for brief periods and remind him of his potential, Alex clutches to his dream to help him survive and pushes towards the promise of a better tomorrow. With very little formal education, he must learn about life and business on his own. That is, until a job placement with a startup company sets him on the fast track to success.
Balancing the opposing worlds of structured board meetings and the lost child that still lives within him, Alex quickly learns some scars refuse to stay hidden. The life he's always dreamed of is within reach, but he must first learn to cope with his past and battle his demons before he can leave them behind for good.
