2009: A 40th High School reunion marks more than a passing of time for Tom Kelleher as he seeks rejuvenation and answers in facing the question of his own mortality. In Nina, who owns the early chapter of Tom's life, he thinks he might have found an answer. After standing in her own personal fires, Nina Hassel, whose brilliance and beauty mirror her self-destructive and self-doubting nihilism, looks to the reunion to reconnect with him across time in the millennial age of instant time-travel; one which is far more technological and socially networked than the one in which they first discovered one another. As the reunion nears and their respective spouses stand unknowingly by, Tom and Nina use their past with its conflicts and entanglements to write and re-write their lives together and apart. Together, they spontaneously road trip to an iconic monument to lost youth, discover their narrative, and evolve a new trajectory at the place where James Dean transitioned into eternity, Polonio Pass.

In a land where emotion is hidden, reincarnation is accepted and suicide is an acceptable form of cleansing for mistakes or shame, Warren Haas has arrived to confront his life; past and present. A one-book wonder that rode to fame in the 80's has fallen and in a quest for a living samsara attempts to reinvent himself in Japan finding strength within he never thought possible. Teaching English at Kin Tama School outside Tokyo in the Native Speakers department with other ex-pats allows him to grow spiritually and become a better man when he encounters the artist Ueda who shines a small light on his path of enlightenment and his fateful encounter with Yukio, a senior who has returned from living abroad who is in need of some answers as to his identity as well and is a stranger in his own land who plots a tragic path on his own destiny with rebirth.
