But Aldoâ€™s bourgeois life is upended by a chance encounter with Shamusâ€”a charismatic writer whose first and only novel blazoned across the firmament twenty years earlier. The two develop a passionate friendship that draws Aldoâ€”smitten also with his new friendâ€™s luscious wifeâ€”into a life of reckless hedonism that threatens to consume them all.
