SUMMARY
When Ayana Robinson rushes off at her father's request to "rescue" her teenage sister who has gone missing in the Caribbean, the jaded New York yuppie finds more to her mission than she bargained for; her lost roots, and a surfing bum called "Matey" who mixes a potent brew of hypnotic music and penetrating insights. Caught in this compelling romance that seems doomed from the start, Ayana moves closer and closer to self discovery and an authenticity more challenging than her New Yorker's existence.
