The narrative focuses on the struggles and interpersonal dynamics among the Caxton family, particularly emphasizing the relationships between fathers and sons, as well as issues surrounding identity and redemption. The story unfolds primarily through the character of Pisistratus Caxton, who grapples with the legacy of his family's past while attempting to aid his troubled cousin, Vivian. The plot delves into Vivian's tumultuous upbringing, marked by the absence of paternal affection and the influences of a wild upbringing. As the characters navigate their relationships—especially between Vivian and his father, Roland—a deeper investigation into their motivations, regrets, and aspirations reveals a rich tapestry of emotional conflicts. The novel ultimately highlights themes of forgiveness, the consequences of personal choice, and the quest for personal fulfillment against a backdrop of familial expectations and social constraints.
