Tapselt sellist eluviisi oli ta endale soovinudki, kuid midagi jaab ometi puudu.Kahe kumnendi eest maakera teisel poolel oli tema klaverimanguharrastus viinud ta kirgliku suhteni Angelina Browniga, kes oli huljanud juuraopingud, et jargida oma unistust saada naitlejaks.

Kas Adam julgeb elada ohtlikult? Kui kaugele on ta valmis minema uue voimaluse nimel?
