The book starts with Naina, who is witnessing writer's block. Then she meets Sammy, an 80-year-old man billionaire who travels the world 11 months a year without his identity and money. The book travels to different places and the experiences by him which is divided into 12 stories. Each story brings a fresh perspective to contemporary human existence and its relationships with the world around.

The cover of the book is beautiful and the title appropriate with the content. I loved the author's writing style. The language of the book is simple enough to connect with the readers. It is a very well thought out and well-written book.
