When Soren Rauhe accidentally dumps his coffee in the lap of Jenny Farrar his life of vintage motorbikes, NorCal surf and Irish tunes gets seriously complicated. Thrown together by Jenny's impending eviction and harassment by her crooked boss, Jarno, they quickly forge a surprisingly tight bond. Jenny and Soren stick together despite her skeptical introduction to late night tune sessions and old-guy motorcycle pals. While Jenny's boss is desperately trying to locate her to retrieve evidence implicating him in a massive forgery scam, she and Soren slink between his house in the Outer Richmond and his North Beach motorcycle shop trying to remain incognito. An unexplained attack on Soren's assistant, the ex-Russian rocket engineer, leaves loads of unanswered questions while his childhood friends rally around with questionable success. A chance retelling of an old story involving a mystical accordion with reeds of magical Chinese sword steel further complicates his life. Action, tunes, clues and hints drag Soren and Jenny all over San Francisco and its outlying districts. After Jenny disappears Soren fears the worst and pursues all avenues until they are finally reunited in a ground-shaking conclusion.
