Description
For Jimmy Corby, money was the ultimate thrill. His life was a high-stakes party, fuelled by cocaine and adrenaline. But when he met Monica, his luck changed. Instead of burning out, his star shone brighter than ever. With their wealth and success came a world of privilege, but it wasn't long before everything came crashing down.
The global financial crisis hit hard, and Jimmy was forced to confront the reality that anyone can handle success - but failure is what really matters. A story of excess, privilege and the true meaning of success, Meltdown is a witty and insightful exploration of how we cope with the unexpected twists and turns of life.
