Adam, a burned-out school psychologist, trades his frustration-ridden career for a silversmithing life in France. He packs his car with personal belongings, books, and silver to make jewelry with, and hurdles into the unknown. He lands in Biot, a medieval village on the Cote d'Azur where Tonio, an English-speaking French-Arab jeweler, offers him workspace in his atelier. No more tussling with troublesome teenagers, but Adam has to put up with Tonio's daily barrages about American imperialism, Israeli savagery, and American press favoring Israel. He meets a twenty-five years younger American graduate student. They fall in love and decide they are soulmates. He questions if he can work in Tonio's workshop without surrendering his honor and dignity. He wonders if he and the woman he loves can transcend obstacles standing in the way of their union. He wonders if their love will last.
