While living in India, Ashoke survived a deadly crash and attributed his fortune to his favorite author Nicholai Gogol. Years later in America, Ashoke and his wife remember the author by giving the nickname Gogol to their son, which the boy initially adores. As a teen, Gogol's distaste for the name and his heritage grows, but within time he may realize its cultural value.
