Leo sets out for Africa but breaks his journey in Thailand, where he is drawn to Ploy, the finest prostitute in Soi Sixteen, the red-light street that runs off Nana station. He never reaches Africa and stays on as a foreigner in those streets. The two circle each other as if by agreement, look at the wounds each has gathered, and part. Their story is less the plot than a frame that holds the novel's many digressions about the street and its people.
