Overview
After being locked out of his church for castigating God, the Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon is adrift and working as a tour guide in Mexico. Passions and secrets explode as he tries to marshal his newest group of guests.
Shannon is accused of committing statutory assault of a 16-year-old girl, Charlotte Goodall, who is among the current tourists under his charge. Struggling emotionally, Shannon tries to manage the other members of the group, who have turned against him for his crimes, while Maxine, the recently widowed owner of the cheap hotel at which they are staying, is interested in him for purely carnal reasons. Adding to this chaotic scenario, spinster Hannah Jelkes appears with her elderly grandfather, Nonno, who, despite his failing health, is composing his last poem. Shannon offers Hannah shelter for the night, forming a deeply human bond between them that threatens to envelop the entire group.
