Matteo Alacáran has been raised very sheltered. He lives with Celia who works at the big house all day. Matt is left alone. He is not allowed to go outside or interact with anyone else. Then comes the day when he breaks the rules. He finds out that he a clone of El Patrón - the boss/ruler of the nation of Opium. Most clones are kept simply for the use of transplants for the original donor. But Matt is different - he is El Patrón's favorite. He is educated (when the servant in the big house doesn't have him a cage) and he learns to think for himself. As Matt grows older he realizes that El Patrón has strange ideas of running a country. As Matt struggles to find what is right and wrong, he sets of on a series of adventures and meets several friends.
WARNINGS: EDGY! It's not an easy or light read - a lot of social and political issues are discussed in this book.
