Le comte Charles-Valérand d'Arbac de Neuville, son épouse Solange, née Poitou Castilla de la Taupinière, ainsi que leurs ascendants et descendants en ligne plus ou moins directe vont tenter l'impossible (à l'exception notable du travail) pour préserver leur château en ruine, symbole d'une existence fragile et néanmoins tenace... Commence alors un voyage initiatique, identitaire et loufoque au centre de la vraie vie... Un banquier aux nerfs fragiles, un huissier aristophobe, des nobles parvenus, des cousins radins, des transports très communs...
