Arkady Dolgoruky, the illegitimate son of a landowner, embarks on a journey to Petersburg to confront his estranged father, Versilov, and navigate his complex feelings of disdain and longing. Raised by foster parents, Arkady's life is marked by a desire for acceptance and power, symbolized by a document sewn into his coat. His youthful impulsiveness leads him through a series of blunders and humiliations as he seeks to define his identity and place within his unconventional family.
