Simon, Catherine, Lucas. Un uomo, una donna, un bambino, tre storie ambientate a New York in epoche diverse: la seconda metà del diciannovesimo secolo, il tempo presente, un futuro post atomico imprecisato. In un romanzo sorprendente, tra atmosfere gotiche, suspense da thriller e un'avventura d'amore e di sopravvivenza, una poesia di Walt Whitman attraversa le esistenze dei tre protagonisti in un gioco di specchi tra personaggi che ritornano misteriosamente tra passato, presente e futuro.

Jonathan, un ragazzo introverso e insicuro, e Bobby, attraente, benvoluto ma un po' grossolano, non potrebbero essere più diversi: eppure diventano amici inseparabili e poi amanti nel corso di un'intensa e tormentata adolescenza a Cleveland, Ohio. Durante gli anni del college si perdono di vista, per poi ritrovarsi a New York dove Jonathan vive con l'amica del cuore Clare. Quando Bobby si trasferisce da loro e comincia una relazione con la ragazza, gli equilibri sentimentali e interiori dei tre ne vengono inevitabilmente sconvolti.
