The story is told through the eyes of Avis Everhard, who chronicles the rise of a repressive oligarchy in a future America, detailing her husband Ernest Everhard's revolutionary activities and the struggle for social justice against overwhelming oppression. At the start of the novel, Avis reflects on her peaceful surroundings yet senses an impending storm, representing the coming societal upheaval. She recalls the impactful moments leading to her husband’s execution as a socialist leader and prepares to document his life and ideals. Through her initial meetings with Ernest, we see his bold presence and unconventional perspectives as he challenges the complacency of the privileged class at a dinner party. The dialogue reveals his passionate commitment to the working class and his fierce opposition to the prevailing capitalist ideologies, setting the stage for a narrative that explores the stark realities of social injustice and the fight for labor rights.
