Synopsis
Disillusioned with his marriage to the controlling Ursula and shattered by his sister’s death, young Stephen leaves Dublin for New York. Quickly swept up in an affair with Holfy, a fiercely independent woman fifteen years his senior, Stephen finds himself divided between his new life and his past. And as his obsessive, intensely erotic bond with Holfy begins to fray, Stephen’s dislocation intensifies, leaving him to face an unraveling identity and longing for a home that no longer seems to exist.
