"When the aristocratic Golden family moves into New York City, their past is an absolute mystery. They seem to be hiding in plain sight: Nero Golden, the powerful but shady patriarch, and his sons Petya, a high functioning autistic and recluse; Apu, the successful artist; and D, the enchanting youngest son. Finally, there is Vasilisa, the Russian beauty who seduces the patriarch. Our narrator is an aspiring filmmaker who gains the trust of this strange family, even as their secrets gradually unfold - love affairs and betrayals, questions of belonging and identity, a murder, an apocalyptic terror attack, a magical, stolen baby, all set against a whirling background in which an insane Presidential Candidate known as only The Joker grows stronger and stronger, and America itself grows mad.
