description: Precocious ethereal Simion Satterwhite arrives at Yale University in 1878 at age 16 eager to escape his West Virginia fundamentalist upbringing. He meets 31-year-old art professor Doriskos Klionarios who was sold in infancy by his Greek prostitute mother to a British lord. Together they embark on an emotionally reckless courtship made all the more difficult by social bigotry and human jealousy.
