Before Nick Carraway moved to West Egg and into Gatsby's world he was at the centre of a very
different story - one taking place along the trenches and deep within the tunnels of World War
I. Floundering in the wake of the destruction he witnessed firsthand Nick delays his return
home. Instead he embarks on a transcontinental redemptive journey that takes him from a
whirlwind Paris romance - doomed from the very beginning - to the dizzying frenzy of New
Orleans rife with its own flavour of debauchery and violence
