The narrative follows Peter Jameson, heir to a modest tobacco and cigar-importing business, as he builds a livelihood amid family ties to the Gordons and the Baynets. His settled commercial life and ambitions are upended by the outbreak of war, which compels sacrifice, military service, and painful choices.
