Owen Taylor lives a nihilistic life in Key West, FL. Days are spent on his boat plundering treasure from a seventeenth century shipwreck. Nights are spent enjoying the fruits of his labor. Without direction and strength associated with family, Owen meanders through life fueled by the memory of the one woman whose spirit continued to echo within his soul. Not until he befriends a beautiful lesbian does the young man realize humans can embrace an emotional connection sans copulation. When he is contacted by a great uncle once thought dead, Owen returns to Florence, Italy to make a connection with his grandmother's brother. It is his last-ditch effort to cling to anything resembling family. A surprise awaits when Julia, a woman he worshiped from afar, re-enters his life. Complete with a new perspective on life, Owen finally recognizes the goodness that emanates from Julia's soul.
