 Ritchie Boyle is a fast-talking Irish charmer with brass balls and an instinct for trouble. Having spent 10 years wasting his inheritance on a trail of failed get-rich quick schemes, he relocates to Moscow in a last-ditched attempt to make it big in the oil business. Ritchie s silver-tongued talents land him in immediate trouble in Moscow. Within 24 hours, he finds himself on the run for a murder he didn t commit. Forced to confront the reality of what he s become, Ritchie has to somehow make sense of the geopolitical battle he s been thrust into and of a city undergoing massive political and cultural upheaval.
