#7 - WELCOME TO LONDON
Synopsis:   They say that "the most dangerous of all falsehoods is a slightly distorted truth."

A well known city or is it our mere perception of how well we really know it? How many of us have seen its masqueraded dark and aphotic underbelly? An entire unconventional and peculiar world where danger lurks at every step, an ambush of atrocious characters rule the roost and the innocent are debilitated into a web of deceit, jeopardy, deception, corruption, and immense danger. Not Mumbai.... Not New York ..... Welcome to London... a London you have never discovered nor perceived before.

Experience Jai's journey, an extremely attractive, charismatic and handsome chap with an enticing appearance and a strong will enthused with an enigma of killer instincts. Geared up with determination and a longing to fulfil his obligations and those of his family back in India, he entwines and entraps himself unknowingly into a London that is unheard of. A world where the power of money, and the dominance of key linchpins and their tactical custom of adopting deceit and deception to lure their inept victims for the mere sake of their own amusement and selfish thrill overtakes the importance of life as a quality.

Opportunity comes knocking in the form of a catering job in the one of the most exclusive chalets in the Alps.

But before she can become a champion again, Kim's going to have to dig deep to overcome her fears. Hard enough, without the complicating factor of Jonny, her handsome - though spoken for - boss...
