The story begins with Ben Connor, a mysterious and imposing man who arrives at Lukin Junction dressed in fashionable yet incongruous attire. The novel explores themes of silence, escape, and the human desire for connection as Connor seeks out a remote valley that holds the promise of a new beginning, far removed from the burdens of his past life. At the start of the novel, Ben Connor is introduced as he arrives in a small town, attracting the attention of its residents with his sophisticated appearance. Interactions with locals, especially Jack Townsend, reveal Connor’s intention to seek silence and peace in the mountains. Soon, Connor's thoughts continuously return to the world he left behind, especially as he grapples with the tension between his desire for tranquility and the familiar lure of horse racing and gambling. The opening sets up a narrative rich with potential for adventure as Connor embarks on a journey amidst a vivid natural landscape, all while battling internal demons and the allure of the outside world.
