His restaurant, specialising in exotic meats and catering to New Yorks elite, was doing well. Then business dried up, and now Boris the loan shark wants his investment back.
But Kash has a plan. Theres a rumour of a dinner club, hosted in turns by billionaires. Lots of ego, and lots of money. If Kash can get the gig, it would pay off Boris and then some.

And this gives Kash an idea.
