The story unfolds in the vibrant and dynamic setting of New York City, focusing on the life of Harold Vreeland, a young man returning from the West to navigate the complexities of societal ambition and romantic entanglements in high society. The narrative hints at themes of ambition, class struggle, and the pursuit of wealth and love. The opening of the novel introduces Harold Vreeland as he travels back to New York on a train, reflecting on his past experiences and the emotional burden he carries due to his father's shady legacy. Despite his handsome appearance and physical prowess, Vreeland feels adrift, resentful of the new social elite he perceives as controlling wealth and power. As he arrives in the city, his thoughts turn to his ambition of integrating into high society, setting the stage for his interactions with various characters, including the wealthy Elaine Willoughby and others who inhabit the sweltering social scene. Vreeland’s internal conflicts and aspirations are effectively established, foreshadowing the twists and turns of his journey to find his place in this opulent yet treacherous world.
