Kostas departs Athens to go to New York City to meet with Peter Pappas. However, Pappas is not in New York, he is in Halifax, Canada. Kostas decides to go there. On the way, he meets an American journalist and his mysterious girlfriend, a black bartender on a boat, a frightened receptionist, a 17-year-old future champion, a gay guy with a gold shirt and a crippled lover, a tired policeman, and a cemetery groundskeeper.
But, why did Kostas go to New York in the first place? Was it to avoid feeling that he was lied to? Did he really need to meet with Peter Pappas? Who is Peter Pappas? Is he even alive? Efthimiadi keeps the reader guessing until the final page.
