A bleak moral tragedy about a privileged young man's catastrophic fall from grace, driven by misplaced loyalty and social cruelty.

When school captain Roddy Berwick takes the blame for his friend’s scandal, he is expelled and disowned by his family. Cast out of his privileged world, Roddy drifts through a series of humiliations—from waiter to penniless actor to gigolo—descending ever further into ruin and self-disgust.
