Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story follows a young Midwesterner, Clyde, who struggles with the constraints of his puritan upbringing and societal expectations. After a series of reckless choices, including a deadly accident, he finds himself entangled with two women: the pregnant Roberta and the alluring socialite Sondra. As ambition clashes with morality, Clyde's desperate pursuit of freedom leads to tragic consequences, making this novel a poignant exploration of ambition, class struggle, and the darker sides of the American dream.
