Stephen Siward steps off the train at the country station of Shotover into a summer of house parties, and meets Sylvia Landis, already promised to a richer and colder man. Both carry inherited weaknesses, his a craving for drink, and the novel follows them through New York’s fashionable season as each struggles for a fighting chance.
