The story is set in the early 1920s aboard a ship sailing across the Atlantic Ocean to America. The narrator becomes acquainted with Khacher Agha, a man whose hopes and decisions are tied to the dream of making his fortune in a foreign land. During the sea voyage, their conversations reveal themes of human gullibility, misleading promises, and the grave consequences of the truth.
