Noah and Micah have left the city and returned home to the country in an effort to convalesce and begin anew. Is love and a lifetime of a knowledge enough to heal, or does an abundance of intimacy impede healing? What are the strategies for survival? What is the distance between survival and happiness? Temple, is sought to help the couple work through. They recall and remember. Noah and Micah earnestly attempt to traverse. Shu appears, who has many names and who was called before: wise, rude, vain and indecent. Shu does what is least expected and forces all to re-examine their lives.
