Tommy is raised in a rich and loved home in India. But because of a war his father, Phil, has to go away and send Tommy to boarding school. When Phil is declared missing in action, Tommy is now alone and penniless, he must use his inner resources of imagination and ability to make friends/piss people off to overcome hardship. OR Phil is sent to war, Tommy is sent to boarding school, and Wilbur and Techno are servants in the attic. Tommy makes the best out of the situation.
