What is it about summer that calls forth such implacable feelings of desire and nostalgia? How are we to content ourselves with only being able to live the course of one life? For Adelaide Fischer and Henning Stowe, two close friends, these questions underlie what each suspects will be the final summer of their youth together. Devotion and longing, pleasure and responsibility all weave together as Henning comes deeper into his understanding of Adelaide's captivating, complicated depths, and how what is good can turn to our ruin, the way that light rots wine.
