At the zenith of his career as a board member of a major corporation, disaster suddenly befalls the former working-class son William Mallory. He crashes over a scandal and no longer understands the world. With suicidal thoughts, he fables on the couch with his psychiatrist about the stages of his rise. An opera as a chamber play that begins quietly, only to soon unroll the great themes of life - a parable about rise and fall, identity and betrayal, appearance and fate. In the end, Mallory realizes that his own illusions have brought him down. In the end, he no longer even knows whether it was an illusion that he once began his rise as a good man.
