At the start of the novel, Ned Sinton experiences an extraordinary dream in which he finds himself in a dazzling cavern made entirely of gold, populated by golden-hued people celebrating California. This strange and vivid dream serves as a prelude to his budding desire to travel to California, fueled by tales of gold and adventure. Upon waking, Ned learns that his uncle means to discuss a significant opportunity regarding his future, as Ned grapples with his ambitions versus the expectations placed upon him.
