David Glass is the co-founder of a fast growing high tech company in San Francisco's Silicon Valley. He's young, good looking and phenomenally successful. The country's financial media routinely list him as one of the country's wealthiest people. The one thing he wants most of all is something he doesn't have - a life. After years of working eighty-hour weeks, he's lost the laser-like focus that made him successful. He's feeling burnt-out and impulsively decides to leave the company he helped propel to the top of its field. He wants to find that "something" that's been missing in his life. He just doesn't know what it is. A chance encounter in a tiny Italian ristorante in San Francisco leads him to hope that an obscure villa hidden away in the ancient Chianti Hills of Tuscany might somehow hold the secret to his finding that missing part of his life. He soon realizes just what it is he's been looking for and just as quickly has the answer within his reach - almost! A cruel disappointment shatters that hope and he finds that his enormous wealth is better at solving other people's problems than it is for his own. The idea that he can somehow regain that hope at the Villa in Tuscany is a powerful lure for David and pulls him relentlessly in that direction. But nowhere in the slick, colorful brochure for the Villa Murci is there the least hint of the danger and terrible disappointment he's going to face.
