Wayne Jenkins, at twenty-one was on his way towards riches beyond even his understanding. Firstly he had inherited from his parents, whose death came during his early teens and after being taken in and adopted by his grandmother, she also departed from simply old age the day after his twenty-first birthday, leaving him a generous portfolio of shares and more property. He was a young man with simple tastes lost in a hedonistic world, then with marriage immanent he had one more inheritance, a farm from a great aunt and from there his problems and tribulations began.
