Aging cancer survivor and business consultant Calder Brandt has staked everything on making partner. But a bullying boss views his sales success as a personal threat, while the firm's feckless Leadership looks the other way. When his partner bid fails, Calder, humiliated and apoplectic, spirals into desperation and alcohol-soaked despair.
How will he tell his wife?
Younger and Bosnian, Hana feels adrift in an overwhelming America. Their relationship's sole center of gravity is an old Weimaraner named Darwin. Terrified by her husband's failing health and the prospect of widowhood, Hana takes a retail bank job and an interest in her one friend's husband.
Meanwhile, Calder's client work unravels; hints at internal sabotage mount. As the base ruthlessness of colleagues begins to emerge, so do the primal forces that drive him. His battle to salvage both dignity and career deteriorates into a thirst for vengeance, leading to unexpected revelations about his past, his world, and himself.
Destiny and Other Follies is a darkly comic, gritty yet humane portrait of misdirected lives in our corporatized age.
