His life has been defined by narcissism. His self-absorbed lifestyle is now being challenged head-on. A book has been placed in the hands of Joran Burns, the sixth-generation descendant of the evil Count Wilhelm Brunstoke, by his dying grandfather, Frank Burns. The book tells of a curse placed on the male family lineage beginning with the evil Count Wilhelm Brunstoke. Since Jordan has fathered a son out of wedlock, his mother, Maria-a determined and devout believer-will not permit her son to escape his obligations. But Jordan is discontent and unwilling to meet the demands of the riddle or the responsibilities of fatherhood. Adding to his dilemma, an elderly gentleman named Leb appears intermittently, challenging the young Jordan to fulfill the curse's demands-he must take his own life.
