Flower power, black power, and Woodstock animated the late '60s.
But what of the early '60s? What of the golden years animated by
America's thousand days of Camelot as John Kennedy presides over
the White House, boldly turns back the Soviets by his naval
quarantine of Cuba, and launches the Peace Corps? Idealism flowers,
sweeping up young Roman Proud whose journey to the New Frontier
goes from Columbia University to Peace Corps training at Cornell
University, then on to service in South America's Atacama Desert.
Along the way, Long Island debutante Regina, a Barnard College
pre-med, and Ellen, a Smith College scholar-athlete recruited by
the Peace Corps, shape Roman's formative years - by jilting him.
Returning to New York in the mid-'60s, Roman signs on to the War on
Poverty with a more subdued vision of life and work. Decades later,
Nadia, a once-aspiring ballerina, flees Russia to Washington,
rouses Roman, now a widower, out of his apathy until he's on the
verge of proposing - only to become jilted again. Yet, by spring
2005, unbeknownst to each other, Regina, Ellen, and Nadia take
turns dazzling Roman with their newly rekindled passion. Avenged
and reveling in their ardor, the gleeful, wayward widower betrays
their trust. Will he care to retrieve his honor, choose to stay
true to one woman again, and give thought to what he should do with
the rest of his life?
