Sub-tropical Motuwairua,  Island of the Spirit,  beckons to those wishing to escape from the pressures of life on the mainland nearby.  To it come several groups of people, strangers to one another, whose lives become inexorably intertwined.

All are escaping from the past and are looking for a place to start again.  All, in their seperate ways, are trying to find a foothold in the changing tide of male-femal relationships.

For Maureen, a young mother of three fleeing a disastrous marriage, the island appears to offer sanctuary.   For Keith, a small-town journalist tormented by childhood memories and his conscience, it offers respite and a seductive mystery.    And for Josie and Geoff, a middle-aged couple whose complex relationship is showing signs of strain, it presents a stubborn challenge while seeming to offer a glimpse of paradise.

In the hot-house atmosphere of Motuwairua, vegetation grows apace, insects flourish, and predilections become obsessions.  Struggling with the stuff of their individual dreams, the newcomers make bizarre compromises with reality as their seemingly calm new world becomes a harsh and puzzling proving ground.

As the story builds to a powerful and unforgettable climax it becomes clear that the enigmas of the past and the contradictions of the present are inescapably connected.
