As Norville Barnes contemplates suicide from atop a New York skyscraper, he looks down on a city he thinks has betrayed him. Months earlier, a naive Norville traveled from his native Indiana to the Big Apple with dreams in his heart and determination on his mind. After landing a mailroom job at a big corporation, he was quickly promoted company president. The honest, unsuspecting fellow failed to realize he was simply a pawn in a plot to undermine investor confidence. Good thing he had a great invention up his sleeve, something so big it became a national sensation and saved his career in the process. But his adversaries continued to plot against him, making it so tough that he lost his lofty dreams and his faith in people. But maybe if he's lucky, someone will reach him before it's too late.
