The story follows Redmond Barry, a young Irishman from a declining family who aspires to be a gentleman but struggles with education and social standing. His infatuation with his cousin Nora leads to a misguided duel with her suitor, John Quin, prompting Redmond to flee to Dublin. There, he falls into a life of crime and joins the British Army to escape creditors. Sent to Germany during the Seven Years' War, he pretends to be insane to desert, stealing a lieutenant's identity and hoping to find a better future in neutral territory.
