Billy Potter, an ordinary multibillionaire, lives in a cupboard under the stairs in the as-yet unfinished house of his terribly boring aunt and uncle. He has an extremely ordinary life until a strange contract from IBM arrives for Billy that turns his life upside down!

He is literally rescued by a world where nothing is as it seems and magic court appearances are the order of the day. Find out how Billy discovers his true heritage at Bloatwarts School of Software Wizardry and Witchcraft, the reason behind Dr. Dos' mysterious death, that evil Larry Voldesson is out to kill him, and how he uncovers the most amazing secret of all time: the fabled Antitrust suit of Destiny! ®
