La vita di Macon Laery è organizzata con la precisione di un meccanismo a orologeria. Giorno dopo giorno, la sua esistenza si svolge, secondo regole accuratamente prestabilite, tra la stesura di guide turistiche per uomini d'affari, le passeggiate con Edward, simpatico cagnetto vagamente nevrotico, e il continuo perfezionamento delle proprie abitudini. Perfino il dolore, quello per la tragica morte del figlio e per il successivo abbandono da parte della moglie, sembra non scalfire il mondo ordinato di Macon. Il destino, però, ha in serbo per lui un colpo di sorpresa.
