The Gold Digger Society
Emotions are very powerful things!
They are like ghosts that can haunt several people individually at the same time and in different places.
Gold digger society is a battle for human control between the power of emotions and the power of money. It is set in Lagos in 2016 and it begins with an incident that happened at the after-party of the Ego awards.
The story is told from the point of view (POV) of David, Hadiza and Junior, secondary school students who witness another student getting raped. Another POV in the story is the biased narrator called the writer, and the survivor of the incident a teenager called Angel.
After the incident, the teenagers are tormented by various emotions but the most powerful are Guilt, Shame, Fear and Greed.
Hadiza and David are 14-year-olds and both of them are Angel's set mates but she's a year older than them. Hadiza is a terrible liar, but she is hell-bent on forgetting everything about that night. She is cautious and will do anything to avoid trouble including constantly rejecting the popular boy she likes.
David is a gold digger looking to profit off keeping quiet. He is bratty and selfish except when it comes to his family and best friend Chinny. What happens when keeping quiet starts to affect his love life?
Junior is sixteen and although the afterparty took place at his house, he is not a credible witness. Junior starts falling for Angel who is struggling to survive both the effects of the rape and the sick games the rapists set for her.
What happens if the incident is just the beginning of a sick game? Don't you wonder: Who created the game and why they chose Angel?
Every day in this game of life, you battle money and emotions and in every game, there are at least two sides: Which side will you take as you witness this story? Will you play their game or let them play you?
