The Riot Club Review

Rich people live in a different world than I do. Their actions carry a different weight and the physics of my universe in no way apply to them. I live in a world of consequences and stifled exploration or impulse. We've seen the rich brats behaving badly (pardon the alliteration) story executed in many ways and the part of it that we never really discuss is why we like them. Why are we compelled to watch people who can do whatever they want? Why are we fascinated by these disconnected assholes? What do we like about them? I'm fully convinced that its the things that we hate about them that make them so interesting. That they breathe rarefied air and have no idea what it feels like to sweat a mortgage payment. I wouldn't go as far as to say that we envy them but we do like to project ourselves into their fine Italian leather shoes, to wonder what it would feel like to live without regard or fear.

Oh wait you're already here.

On her own and haunted by desperate phone calls and text messages from her Uncle, Mackenzie escapes into the town of Juneau which she soon discovers is not an easy place to escape being cut off from everywhere by the sea and mountains. Seeking a way back to Seattle, Mackenzie encounters Rene Bartlett while hiding out at a motel. He is gruff and keeps to himself and wants nothing more than to be on his own. Learning that Bartlett is also from Seatt
