The story is set in the rainforest of Tierra Libre, where monkeys live under the strict control of the State. The protagonist, Claude, is a State Inspector who feels increasingly disillusioned with the monotonous work, limited freedoms, and the ever-present "No Monkey Business" rule. Claude begins to question the State and its true purpose after a series of encounters and experiences. He discovers a hidden refuge of monkeys who are also seeking change. He then becomes involved in a plan to escape the boundaries of Tierra Libre, setting him on a journey to discover the fabled Maya paradise. The narrative explores themes of oppression, the search for freedom, rebellion, the power of ideas, and the importance of self-discovery. The book also touches on issues such as environmental exploitation and the dangers of unchecked power, and the book has a distinct focus on the nature of work. The story is told with a focus on the internal conflicts of the main character and contains elements of adventure, mystery, and social commentary.
