Pip doesn\'t expect much from life ...
His sister makes it clear that her orphaned little brother is nothing but a burden on her. But suddenly things begin to change. Pip\'s narrow existence is blown apart when he finds an escaped criminal, is summoned to visit a mysterious old woman and meets the icy beauty Estella. Most astoundingly of all, an anonymous person gives him money to begin a new life in London.
Are these events as random as they seem? Or does Pip\'s fate hang on a series of coincidences he could never have expected?
