The story revolves around characters related to the Massachusetts Brass Company, including Walworth Floyd, who navigates his life amidst family expectations and societal pressures. The opening of the novel sets the stage by vividly describing the Clifton, a towering building housing a diverse group of people, including affluent businessmen and their families. The narrative introduces several key characters, including Walworth Floyd, who grapples with his position in life and the dynamics within his family, particularly regarding his choice of friends and his marriage.
