Four friends who were formerly students at a tiny Massachusetts college are now destitute, aimless, and supported only by their ambition and friendship as they go to New York to make their way. They have the gorgeous and gentle Willem, who wants to be an actor; JB, a quick-witted and often nasty painter from Brooklyn who wants to break into the art world; Malcolm, an architect at a prestigious company, who is disappointed; and Jude, who is the centre of attention and is quiet, intelligent, and mysterious.
Their connections become stronger and more sombre throughout the years, coloured by achievement, pride, and addiction.Though Jude himself is by midlife a terrifyingly skilled litigator but an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome—that will define his life forever—each realises that Jude is their greatest challenge.
