Alegra and Nelson, two brilliant climate science students -- whom destiny enrolled at the same university in the United States and meeting initially as strangers-- learn that they are from the same small Caribbean island. They travel together back to their island with a world renowned research team assembled to investigate the dramatic effects of global warming in the Caribbean region.

Alegra's and Nelson's own spiritual and psychological "drought" force them to confront formidable challenges of a shared passion for their island's future, as well as for each other... ignoring totally the dire warnings from the island's revered sacred spirits. The tale offers an intricately woven tropical tapestry that explores the often inexplicable bonds we share with the natural world and with one another-- especially in the midst of calamity
