En s'inspirant de sa vie, l'auteure raconte la vie d'un personnage qui change d'identité, de sexe et de continent. Il entreprend un périple de New York à Tokyo, de Chicago à Athènes et de Philadelphie à Amiens. Au gré des changements de lieu et d'identité, le ton se fait grave, sarcastique, brutal ou humoristique.
