Marc O'Brien is a young architect who lives with purpose and great intensity. He's a sophisticated man, with a passion for architecture, and a taste for adventure. He has sound principles and strong opinions about society, politics, and the economy. He has already met with success but he quits his job to pursue his dreams and sets out to accomplish a grand mission. In his journey, he has to overcome big obstacles including a serious illness, a hostile father, and a nemesis. Also, at one point he has to endure a very tragic loss.
To complete his mission Marc learns valuable lessons from several prominent architects that he meets or that he studies their work. He then develops special expertise that later helps him make a big impact in the world. Along his journey, he meets a beautiful and enigmatic woman. He shares his dreams with her, and they have a torrid romance.
However, amid his best moments, something happens that will turn his life upside down.
Aside from being a fast-paced novel and full of thrilling adventures that take the reader to many cities around the world, it has a touch of philosophical content that provokes reflection around some meaningful topics.
