The central protagonist is Ramon. Once a week he goes to a Sydney restaurant where he and his friends tell stories over lunch. Ramon is a master storyteller, and over time reveals a series of stories that cover a range of places and times, including death squads in Argentina and Java in the 1970s. The disparate stories converge in an exciting climax.
