Marco Pazzolini always dreamed of being a professional musician. Virtually overnight he found himself with a wife, a daughter, and a lucrative record deal. He soon discovered that fame and celebrity was a far cry from how he ever imagined it would be and on the brink of popularity, gave it all up and ran off to find peace and quiet on Monoxiá, a little volcanic burp in the middle of the Mediterranean which he had first encountered during a tour of Europe. For the next twenty years he has lived a quiet, peaceful, albeit frugal existence, turning his back on his music career, vowing to never pick up his guitar again.
Christos, a life long native of the island, lived a life at sea, working on a cargo ship since he was a young man, following a long established family tradition going back multiple generations. Christos never had much of a relationship with his father due to his father’s time out at sea. Although Christos followed in his father’s footsteps he vowed not to make the same mistakes with his own son, promising to always be there for him. However things didn’t turn out that way and he turned out to be more like his father than he’d like to admit. On his final voyage, an incident occurs that will change the course of his life.
Jenna Colt, aka Pazzolini, hadn’t seen her father since she was three years old. Although they had kept in touch via letters over the years, by the time she reached her 14th birthday all contact with her estranged father had ceased. Her life — once full of promise — turned into a nightmare which made her question her father’s motives for abandoning her. When her mother begins a relationship with the ultimate loser Jenna begins to rethink everything she had ever been told and embarks on a quest to learn the real truth about her father.
One day Jenna unexpectedly turns up on Monoxiá to confront her father, threatening the tranquil existence he desperately tried to cultivate.
These three stories ultimately converge and each of them learn the ultimate life lesson about the true nature of place and family as well as the difference between facing life and running away from it.
