David Abden is the scion of a well-to-do Scottish family, a hellrake, and a con man whose scams once landed him in jail. Almost by accident he enters the perfume trade, eventually becoming sales manager and lover to Mme. Shona, a mysterious Russian cosmetics magnate. A series of events, including an unexpected inheritance and an unsatisfying marriage, leads Abden to make hard choices about his life's direction.
