The plot centers around a young engineering student in Istanbul who discovers a "new life" in the pages of a book of the same name. The protagonist is so thrilled by this novel that he sets off in search of the new life it describes, finding a number of other readers who have become similarly consumed as well as a few people who seek to destroy the book because of the effect it has its followers. No passages from the book are revealed, and the audience is left to hypothesize about its nature through the actions of the main character and other obsessed readers.
