Description

"All the astronauts orbiting around the Earth, they'll look down out of their little round windows and they'll see me, standing on

the top floor of Vision Towers, huge and glowing"

An oasis of free enterprise, no income taxes, no unions, no opposition parties. A paradise of consumption. A skyline on crack. Urban planning on steroids - Dubai.

On the 88th floor of an unfinished skyscraper in the Emirate's glittering skyline, the life of a migrant labourer becomes fatefully intertwined with that of Jamie, a British expat with his eye on the big time.
