"99" is an original story inspired by real events. It is as much 'what could have been' as it is 'what really happened.' In other words, it is historical fiction - fiction being the keyword. It spans a few genres, it is slick, fast-paced, realistic and importantly, very funny. Set in 1999, all the characters are bound by a common feeling of being stuck at 99 in life. The story is an unpredictable and hilarious ride spread over two cities with colourful characters, unbelievable circumstances, small-time crooks, big-time conspiracies, fateful car crashes, loads of coffee, a briefcase full of money, a budding romance and a historical controversy brewing in the background.
