Max, a Brooklyn native, was taken into the wealthy yet hypocritical Wharton family, where he endured years of harsh prejudice and cruel mistreatment. Framed and brutally killed by the adopted son Charles in his past life, he miraculously reawakens in his fourth year back at the manor. Reborn and ruthless, Max immediately severs all ties with his cold-blooded family. He moves out to a hotel and teams up with his loyal childhood friends Marcus and Anna to start his stunning comeback.
Armed with future foresight, Max earns his first fortune by stockpiling coffee beans before a devastating national hurricane hits. He then seizes the booming campus e-scooter trend and founded Pineapple Company. Enraged by his rapid success, Charles hires gangsters to sabotage his business and uses connections to ban his products, only to be utterly defeated by Max’s decisive counterattacks. In less than a month, Max gains a full Princeton scholarship and a $50 million investment, pushing his company’s valuation to $500 million. Meanwhile, his eldest sister Emily discovers the horrific truth of his years of abuse. The second and third sisters break down in agonizing regret after learning Max once took the blame for their crimes. When the Wharton parents and Charles fall seriously ill, the begging sisters are coldly rejected. Max prepares to return to the Long Island manor and claim his cruel payback.
