The narrative follows the lives of Albert Bradley and Anne Polk Barrett as they embark on their marital journey, intertwining themes of love, social expectations, and financial struggles.

At the start of "Undertow," readers are introduced to Nancy and Bert, the main characters, who are preparing to get married despite disapproval from their families due to financial constraints.
