Hazard is a young lawyer who is determined to succeed in his career and make a name for himself in society. However, he is constantly surrounded by the Croakers, who discourage him at every turn and try to convince him that he will never succeed.Throughout the novel, Hazard and his friends navigate the challenges of love, work, and social status, all while dealing with the constant negativity of the Croakers.
