As a young boy, Diogenes Alejandro Xenos -"Dax"-witnesses the brutal rape and murder of his mother and sister by government troops-experiencing the drama of revolution, loss, and tragedy firsthand. He is sent to Europe by the victorious rebel leader to rebuild his country's diplomatic and financial status post-revolution, and is immediately thrown into the elite environment of Europe's jet set society of international bankers and diplomats. Outwardly, Dax lives a life of privilege as one of the continent's most sought-after, hedonistic playboys-wanted by men and women alike. Inside, however, he channels his fear, anger, and hatred for the new regime, which he realizes is as corrupt as the old, into a desire to disrupt the status quo.
