"I felt it last time, when the darkness came. It's like it was trying to tell me something, trying to make me realize what was coming."
Each time a total eclipse causes the sun to disappear behind the moon, the darkness gives strength to one man.
His tragic life and secret love are told in a series of letters written as he travels the world, searching out the eclipses wherever and whenever they occur.
The letters question the mysteries of life, the universe, and the meaning of love and will bring a life lived in shadows into the light.
