Adam Thornberry is a free-spirited astronomer who works from his Gloucester home on Boston's North Shore. His employer is confident that Adam's intellect and imagination will one day produce amazing results. Given this assumption, the company allows the brilliant young stargazer to examine the universe from his dream house perched on a bluff overlooking Good Harbor Beach. Amazing results come sooner than expected, as Adam believes he has made a world-altering connection to the cosmos. He keeps this awesome news to himself until he gains confidence in his findings. On Adam's daily jog along the water's edge, he meets Eva, a strange beauty who mystifies him. As he wrestles with the gravity of his outer space discovery, Eva becomes a welcome distraction, appearing frequently on the sands below Adam's home. Over time, however, Eva turns from being a distraction into an obsession, as Adam begins to believe that she plays an unknown role in his astronomical mystery. His emotions toward her become a mixture of affection and fear. Was she a friend? Was she an enemy? Or was she something else altogether?
