After four years abroad, Lenoir Adams has come home. But something is different. As her friends and family attempt to adjust to this stranger, Lenoir's behavior becomes increasingly erratic. She spends her days preaching about "the light" and her nights meeting with mysterious new friends. As the news cycle continues round-the-clock in a post- 9/11 world, her circle increasingly agonizes over her path, and rationale. The heartbreak and regrets from the past come to a head, as does Lenoir's plan, setting them all to wonder if anybody really knows anyone. And if home is ever the same again.
