Malhumorada, irónica, orgullosa y de perfil más bien bajo, ¿cómo sobrevivirá en el mismo lugar que Richard Russel, un chico alegre, guapo, galán y que todo lo que piensa lo dice en voz alta? Y, por supuesto, ¿quién dice que la vida de ricos es fácil? Las envidias y los chismes se multiplican, y las luchas por el dinero son de vida o muerte.
