Pan Wrenn to obiecujący pracownik innowacyjnej firmy. Gdy dostaje spadek po ojcu, rezygnuje z dalszego pięcia się po szczeblach kariery biznesowej i wyrusza w podróż.

Rzetelne odmalowanie realiów oraz mocne uwikłanie bohaterów w problemy społeczno-ekonomiczne sprawiły, że w recenzjach książki pojawiło się porównanie autora do Charlesa Dickensa.
