Greed and betrayal shape the narrative as Upton Sinclair explores the oil-drilling industry's moral decay in 1920s Southern California, inspired by the Teapot Dome Scandal. The story centers on Bunny Ross, who grapples with his loyalty to his family's unethical practices versus his friendships with the Watkins family. As the conflict over property rights and labor unionization escalates, Bunny faces a critical choice between compassion and the allure of power. Sinclair's vivid characters and timeless themes of corporate corruption resonate strongly in this engaging tale.
