Honey Black and her sister, Susan, travel to Israel with the intention of bringing back their father, newly inducted into Orthodox Judaism, whose extended vacation they believe has plunged him into temporary madness. After they return home, without their father, Honey continues to brood over her time in Israel, specifically her experience praying in the caves of the countryside.
