Twelve stories of wayward travelers.
Twelve stamps on the passport of the soul.
Walter struggles to see past his disfigurement, but a trip to Thailand and a mysterious woman may challenge his quest for perfection.

A woman looks for the perfect souvenir in the Turkish Bazaar and instead finds a passionate love affair.

At home and abroad, solitary travelers embark on journeys that take them where they never expected to go.
