Summary
The Reverend Sarah Obadias is broken, bitter and stripped of the reassurance of faith. She encounters Abraham Darby, a well-regarded painter who seduces the minister into his life of excess and emotional intensity. Yago is the gay son of Darby and Costa Rican painter Alejandra Morales Diaz. But Alejandra's appearance discomposes Sarah, and Yago provides no calm or clarity when she encounters him. The ever-changing relationship between fathers and sons becomes a contemplation on faith, faithfulness, and the nature of spiritual and emotional growth
