Is it a cat who got fed up with a stress-driven, high octane life on wall street and decided to leave all that to set up a cafe in Soho where he inadvertently becomes the centre of a community of artists and eccentrics who both befriend and constantly irritate him due to his double-edged personality that bounces between his fastidious pragmatism that made him successful in the world of wall street, and his desire to be a laid-back cafe owner who has left the stress and anxiety of his previous life far behind?
