De pe fundalul policolor al Londrei se desprind cinci siluete, cu trecutul si destinul lor: Razvan, Maria, Traian, Sabina, Gruia. Povestile lor decurg paralel, cu exceptia citorva momente aleatorii si fulgeratoare in care se intretaie, fara consecinte. Un doctorand gay, de stinga, o pictorita de mina a doua, un stock broker, o femeie care are grija de un batrin pe moarte si un sans papiers usor autist au in comun un singur lucru: cetatenia romana. Ioana Baetica Morpurgo prinde in aceste cinci destine exemplare alchimia uneia dintre cele mai teribile experiente umane – cea a dezradacinarii.
