The Investor

Once the bars of jail locked behind him, Omar finds himself in confrontation with reality, after spending a lifetime escaping to a world of his imagination, sharing a cell with a major criminal. Upon his cellmate's curiosity, Omar narrates the story of how he came to be the criminal that he is through the scheming impersonation of typical characters found in society.
