The novel is written from the point of view of a man called "H. H." who becomes a member of "The League", a timeless religious sect whose members include famous real and fictional characters. A branch of the group goes on a pilgrimage to "the East" in search of the "ultimate Truth". The narrator speaks of traveling through both time and space, across geography imaginary and real. During the group's travels, a servant named Leo disappears. The group dissolves into divisive angst and frustration.
