Police stand ready to make an arrest of a notorious bootlegger, Paul Mantilini but instead arrest Esko Vaananen, a celebrated architect, and by all accounts, a shy and mild-mannered young man. In his pursuit of artistic perfection through architecture and unattainable love, Esko finds himself in the battlefields of the Bolshevik revolution, the jazz-age night clubs of New York and striking a deal with a ruthless gangster which finally leads him to stand accused of murder.
