Sandton, the hub of Africa's economic power, sex mavericks and high-class slay queens, the place where dreams are made. But sometimes it proves not to be the city of freedom ... While the lights glitter on the surface, many of its inhabitants are roped into the dark underground world of the rich and powerful. This is where powerful men hold the key to every door and the weak will do anything to be part of the elite circle. BARE: The Blesser's Game has unlocked a door leading to BARE: The Cradle of The Hockey Club: the biggest secret society in Africa. Treasure desires nothing more than pure love from her Sugar Daddy, but she is starting to see that he has deep-rooted, dangerous fetishes that go beyond greed and lust. She longs for a better life, yet isn't sure how to find it. The sacrifices she makes for her tormentor are deadly. Slowly, day by day, she walks into the shadows and claws of death. Her love for materialistic wealth will alter the course of her life. But will her naive nature overcome overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and a fear of rejection? Or will it lead her down the path of darkness, human trafficking and organ sales? Terrified by the reality of her own naivete, Treasure becomes entwined and trapped in a world of darkness and a terrible kind of glamour... Will she ever see the light?
