Summary
Chance has lived in the townhouse of a wealthy man in Washington, D.C. his whole life, tending the garden, with virtually no contact with the outside world. Chance's cultural and social education is derived entirely from what he watches on the television sets provided by the man who brought him up, the "Old Man", as he refers to him. When his benefactor dies, Chance, now apparently in his late forties, is forced to leave his sheltered existence in the house and discover the world outside for the first time. He becomes a great enigma; a hero of the American media
