While the tumultuous 1970s rock the world around them, a collection
of aging expatriates linger in a quiet town on the island of Crete,
where they have escaped their pasts and their present. Among them
is Horace, a gay American writer who fears he has finally reached
old age. Friends only frustrate him, and his youthful Greek lover
provides little satisfaction. Idling his time away with alcohol and
working on a novel that he will never finish, Horace feels closer
than ever to his own sorry end. That is, until a young, enigmatic
American woman named Helen joins his crowd of outsiders. In Helen,
Horace discovers someone brilliant, beautiful, and stubbornly
mysterious -- in short, she becomes his absolute obsession. But as
Horace knows, people have a way of preserving their secrets even as
they try to forget them. Soon, Helen's past begins to follow her to
Crete. A suicidal ex-lover appears without warning; whispers of her
long-dead sister surface in local gossip; and signs of ancient
Gypsy rituals come to the fore. Helen vanishes. Deep down, Horace
knows that he must find her before he can find any peace within
himself.
