The story unfolds in Yokohama, Japan, where the wealthy American businessman Jermyn Atherton is conversing with his friend Barry Craven aboard a luxurious yacht illuminated by a full moon. The narrative hints at the complexities of relationships and personal struggles, particularly involving Jermyn's sudden departure from his wife, Nina, and Barry's deeper ties to Japan, setting up a backdrop of Western intrigue and Eastern allure. The opening of the book introduces a serene yet vibrant night in Yokohama, where Jermyn Atherton and Barry Craven engage in conversation on the deck of a yacht. They discuss Jermyn's impulsive decision to escape his hectic life and the misunderstandings with his wife, as well as Barry's experiences and local relationships. The atmosphere becomes more intricate as Barry's connection to Japan and hints of a romantic past begin to surface, particularly with reference to a girl named O Hara San. As their discussion continues, themes of love, cultural differences, and personal identity are established, especially as Barry grapples with his feelings for O Hara San, creating a tantalizing tension in the storyline.
