A young girl grapples with disillusionment as several people and resources in her life fail her. Throughout her desire to define faith, virtue, belief and the essence of what it means to be good, she discovers what beliefs truly are and how they can effect the experience and authenticity of the lives we lead. Fully displaced by her discovery, she follows a rare opportunity to live in New York City, where she meets two men who provide notable precendence in her life: one she regards as the Stoic, and the other, as the Hedonist. The interplay of her spirit in dialogue with both of these men is an allegory of her personal pursuit of God, a construct she abandons with conviction early on in the piece, and her will to be free of a dogmatic, prescriptive ruling on moral behavior. We watch her as she clings to several perspectives of morality, and yearn for her liberation while we deeply question our own.
