Adrift depicts the way lust for love and wealth is persuading a person, particularly youth of this world to wander from one place to another. He realises only at the end that it was nothing but an endless rate-race and he could have served the humanity with more dedication had he not become a part of this race. Everyone in the village (where the story takes shape) was happy but only those who had been entrapped by this lust were restless and the story revolves around them only. Those who are also drowning along the stream with the same pace may not judge the chaos but only those who are not driven it like pole-star may only show path to others even in extreme darkness.
