THE TOWER: PART ONE

Welcome to The Los Angeles Peterson Sky Home.
All across the world, there are a total of 10 Peterson Sky Homes located in major metropolises all over the world. Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Toronto, London, Moscow, Sydney, Hong Kong, Dubai, and Tokyo all host one of these buildings.
They are some of the tallest buildings in the world, and each one hosts 10 Million people inside across 50 levels. 100 Million People across the world live in one of these buildings, people from all walks of life.
On the top floor of each building is the owner of said building.
At the top of The Los Angeles Peterson Sky Home is Sebastian Peterson, 51 years of age, who has spent the last 25 years working on this project since he was 26. He is the 2nd richest man in the world behind Jeff Bezos.
The richest of each building lives towards the top levels.
However... The further down you go, the poorer it gets. The bottom levels are, for all intents and purposes, crime-ridden slums. While some of the building owners are working to help the poverty-ridden areas of their buildings... Sebastian Erickson is doing next to nothing, and has gained controversy for it, controversy he's choosing to ignore as much as possible. He instead is hoping to build even more Sky Homes across the world to further his wealth... Even if he is the 2nd richest man in the world already.
Sebastian is 51, and plans to retire in 14 years... And he wants his young son, Joshua Peterson, 25 years of age, to take over.
Joshua wants nothing to do with it. He has no intention of getting into that business, and wants to instead start a band with his friends.
Some of Joshua's friends seek to try to convince their friend's father to try and end his neglect of lower levels, especially since rebellion... violent rebellion... is brewing.
Due to being the son of Sebastian Peterson with a well-known face, Joshua has never ever been to the lower levels...
At least... not yet.
