"Rowley Lodge, near Newmarket, training stables for England's finest racing horses - including Archangel, who was expected to win the Derby - was owned and managed by a man named Griffon, a severe puritanical man, whose only interest in life were his stables and the horses being trained there.. He had treated his son, Neil, harshly when the boy was young .. One night, while Neil was going over his father's books, two masked men beat him up, abducted him, and introduced him to the rich, powerful, and brutal Enso Rivera.."
