Duane returns from a journey to Egypt and finds that Thalia no longer provides the familiarity he expected. His wife is dead, his children have taken control of parts of the family business and his own health makes independence increasingly uncertain.

He divides his attention between the young geologist Annie Cameron and his psychiatrist Honor Carmichael, whose relationship with him changes unexpectedly. Ageing, desire and grief force Duane to consider whether reinvention is possible when most of the people who defined his earlier life have moved on.
