This story takes place over twenty-four hours in the lives of five vividly depicted people, each of whom has an urgent and immediate need for a large sum of money. Events fit together like the mechanism of a fine watch as the day hurtles toward its conclusion. Cadnum's writing is rich with literary devices including doubling, irony, and metaphor.
