      Zrození a smrt, láska a nenávist, odpuštění a pomsta, odosobněná moc peněz a vitální síla lidskosti. Spisovatel staví proti sobě snad všechny kontrasty moderní společnosti. Sestry – dvojčata – v dětství rozdělil nelítostný zásah naftového krále, jenž jejich narození považoval za společenský prohřešek své dcery. Osud dívky zavede do zcela odlišných prostředí a než znovu najdou jedna druhou, procházíme s nimi klíčovými událostmi moderních dějin Spojených států. Drsný život v sirotčinci, svět prostituce i studentských kolejí, tajemné vraždy, lásky pravé i falešné, miliardy dolarů i chudoba ulice – to vše až ke konečnému smíření.
