Eighteen-year-old Theodore Perkins, "Theo", is practically modern-day nobility. His bloodlines stem from those of British aristocrats. Theo's father, Archibald, believes the Perkins family is divine, above everyone else in society. His archaic ways do not reflect the modern Canadian society they live in.

Theo and his brother Alexander, "Alè", hate everything the Perkins family stands for. Money, greed, power, and nepotism do not sit well with the new generation of Perkins. The recipe of two brothers determined to bring down their family dynasty and their father's determination to preserve it brews a lethal level of tension within their household.

Theo is constantly torn between forging his own life and dealing with the inherited Perkins problems. No amount of money can fix the Perkins' problems; only Theo can.
