Description
Victor Mancini's plan to secure his mother's hospital care is a complex scheme, built on the principle of exploiting the guilt of others. By feigning a choking episode in a restaurant, he can elicit a lifetime of financial support from those who feel responsible for his well-being. This strategy is repeated with varying degrees of success, as Victor navigates his precarious existence. As he works at a theme park and attends support groups for sex addiction, Victor's life becomes increasingly intertwined with the lives of those around him. His mother's struggles with Alzheimer's disease also raise questions about his own past, and the truth about his parentage begins to surface. This novel explores the darker aspects of human nature, where desperation and exploitation can lead to a tangled web of relationships and consequences.
