GATSBY IS DEAD.

Nick Carraway has left New York and returned to Saint Paul.

He has failed to make it in the East. What he witnessed there—its wealth, its evasions, its violence—refuses to settle into meaning. What remains is not memory, but pressure: the sense that what happened demands an account he is not yet able to give.

At home, amid family obligation and unfinished loyalties, Nick begins a reckoning with the moral weight of what he has seen—and with the life he must now choose to live. A return to New York and a final visit to Daisy Buchanan’s home in Lake Forest force him to confront the distance between events as they were lived and the version already forming in his mind.

Set between 1922 and 1924, Saint Nick traces Nick Carraway’s gradual recognition of his complicity in the events of that fateful summer: from observer to confidant to accomplice. When a final truth comes to light, he can no longer stand apart. He must decide what the story will be and what it will conceal.
