El protagonista es un yuppie, un asesor financiero que se ha convertido en la estrella de una firma de brokers, pero que se ve inmerso en rocambolescas dificultades jurídicas, matrimoniales e incluso económicas a partir de la noche en que se pierde por las calles del Bronx cuando llevaba a su amante del aeropuerto Kennedy a su nido de amor.
A partir de esta peripecia, Tom Wolfe va hilando una compleja trama que le permite presentar el mundo de las altas finanzas, los restaurantes de moda y las exclusivas parties de Park Avenue, así como el submundo picaresco de la policía y los tribunales del Bronx, y también el mafioso universo de Harlem y las nuevas sectas religiosas. Un hilarante e irrepetible fresco, diseccionado con desenvuelta crueldad y acerada ironía por un Tom Wolfe en plenitud de facultades.
