A desperate clerk who has embezzled from his firm falls in with a circle of fantasists plotting a secret revolution funded by brothels and poison gas, a scheme that curdles into paranoia and ends in a senseless murder.

What's known as madness is simply what most people aren't accustomed to thinking.
