Rupert Cornelius Grammaticus is picked on. He has a stupid name, has to wear the cheapest clothes, never has any money to spend and doesn’t have a family or any relatives to look after him. He doesn’t even have any friends, that is, apart from Colin who also lives in Randolph House, but it is more like mutual survival rather than a real friendship. Getting a girlfriend is out of the question, especially Kate Harvey who is well out of his league. If having to live in an orphanage wasn’t bad enough, Rupert is told that he has to move out and get a job when he reaches seventeen. With his bad school report (thanks to his form-teacher who hates and bullies him), and the Randolph House reputation, the only job that he is likely to get is a dead-end one with no prospects.

He didn’t know how it happened. It could have been that it just that it all got too much and something snapped. Whatever it was, he suddenly decided that he wasn’t going to put up with the bullying, people telling him that he was no good and being pushed into a meaningless future any longer. He realised that he was on his own and it was up to him, and him alone, to change things. He decided that he was going to get on and get even, but to do that he needed a plan, a plan to succeed and be rich, a plan of revenge and reward, a plan to get a girlfriend and be happy, in short, a plan for a new life.
