PART ONE: LAD'S PILGRIMAGE
Castaway by his own choice on a primitive coast, Thomas shakes off his suicidal tendencies by responding to his instincts for survival and nourishment. Once secure from imminent threat and immediate need, he confronts the ennui, anhedonia, and disgust with humanity that triggered his reckless behavior. As he interacts with his environment, he hungrily seeks a worthwhile grounding for his life and a situation that will resolve his social alienation and isolation. Philosophical, psychological, and existential considerations drive the quest of this young man for sanity as he meanders over a barren but beautiful and epically rich landscape.

PART TWO: THE PATH OF SAINT FLÂNEUR
Torn between desire and faith, a young man speaks of the turmoil he suffers as he seeks to reconcile his orientation to two opposing loves, neither of which he can dismiss. His faith compels him to embrace celibacy, but his enfleshed soul pushes back. This is the story of a divided will in the spirit of Saint Augustine. This section is written in informal verse, but reads like interior monologue.
