The story follows the misadventures of George Finch, a young man who has just graduated from Oxford and finds himself struggling to make a living in London. As George tries to find his footing in the world, he becomes embroiled in a tangled web of romantic entanglements, misunderstandings, and comedic mishaps. Along the way, George also meets a colorful cast of characters, including his eccentric uncle, a valet who speaks in aphorisms, and a group of young men who call themselves "The Heralds of the Red Dawn" and claim to be part of a secret society.
