The story begins with a dramatic incident where Mikky heroically saves a wealthy child, Starr, from an assassination attempt, showcasing themes of bravery and societal disparity. The narrative juxtaposes the lives of the privileged and the impoverished, as Mikky, a street child, thrusts himself into danger to protect another, ultimately drawing attention to both his valor and the injustices faced by those in his socioeconomic position.

As the surrounding chaos unfolds, the repercussions of his act of bravery immediately elevate him to the status of a local hero. Meanwhile, the narrative hints at broader social commentary, emphasizing the stark contrast between the lives of the wealthy and the plight of the poor. As the story progresses, it is clear that Mikky's journey will encompass themes of redemption, belonging, and the possibility for a better life, particularly through the kindness of the wealthy bank president, who takes an interest in him.
