Receiving large sums of money is never without its challenges and Dan's situation is no exception. When he inherits an impossible amount of money from his father, he is over the moon, but it soon transpires that the cash is blood money, born from ill intentions. He becomes desperate to right his father's past wrongs, in order to make peace with his own present and inspire hope for the future. Luckily for Dan, when he falls in love the solutions to his problems start to become clear. In this raw tale of humanity, O Henry reminds us that no misdeed goes unpunished.

William Sidney Porter (1862-1919), known simply as O. Henry, was a prolific American author of humorous literary pieces.
