The story revolves around Geoffrey Croyden, a young man who finds himself facing the fallout of financial ruin after a major brokerage firm collapses, leaving him nearly penniless. Croyden resolves to leave his previous life behind and seeks refuge in his inherited property, Clarendon, where he hopes to evade the complexities of high society that once engulfed him. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the context of Croyden's financial woes and his decision to retreat to Clarendon after the bankruptcy of Royster & Axtell. Through conversations with his friends, Macloud and Croyden, we learn about the superficiality and competitiveness of their social circle, which leaves Croyden feeling disillusioned. As he heads to his new residence, the narrative begins to hint at future developments, including his encounters with the local community and intriguing new characters, especially a beautiful young woman named Elaine Cavendish, suggesting that his journey may lead to both personal growth and complicated relationships in this new setting.
