Que peuvent avoir en commun une journaliste d'investigation californienne des années 1970, un clone condamné à mort dans un État du futur, un notaire américain qui découvre les aborigènes néozélandais des années 1830 ? À travers six récits croisés, David Mitchell fait se répondre des êtres qui participent d'un destin commun malgré eux et qui composent d'innombrables variations d'une même phrase musicale.
