A young freelance writer, intrigued by the life stories of a reclusive author, is taken on a jaunt through the burgeoning era of sex, drugs and rock n' roll, back alley Asian paradises and nights filled with women, young and lusting. What starts as a short article, whose sole intention was to bring in a few bucks from the publisher, becomes an adventure in every sense of the word. The story of an aged writer's rise from intellectual poverty and his ultimate climb to grace is as improbable a life as one could possibly fathom. It is also the story of emotions that will not be denied. About the Steppenwolf in each of us and how in every case, love has been our salvation.
