The story unfolds in old Dublin City and revolves around characters navigating the complexities of love, loyalty, and peril during a time of political unrest. Central to the narrative is Edmond O'Connor, a young gentleman whose adventures and encounters set the stage for broader themes of fidelity and honor in a changing world. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the titular inn, “The Cock and Anchor,” symbolizing a warm refuge amid the harshness of a stormy autumn night in Dublin. Edmond O’Connor arrives at the inn, having just escaped a near-robbery on his journey, seeking supper and comfort. He soon finds himself engaged in conversation with another traveler, whose mysterious presence hints at darker elements at play. As the night progresses, O’Connor’s backstory and connections are hinted at, particularly his ties to the soldier Richard O’Connor and the troubling past that may intertwine with the present. The initial chapters set a tone of suspense and intrigue, foreshadowing the challenges O'Connor will face in both love and allegiance.
