Jules Epstein a man whose drive avidity and outsize personality have for 68 years been a force to be reckoned with is undergoing a metamorphosis. In the wake of his parents' deaths his divorce from his wife of more than 30 years and his retirement from the New York legal firm where he was a partner he's felt an irresistible need to give away his possessions alarming his children and perplexing the executor of his estate. With the last of his wealth he travels to Israel with a nebulous plan to do something to honor his parents. In Tel Aviv he is sidetracked by a charismatic American rabbi planning a reunion for the descendants of King David who insists that Epstein is part of that storied dynastic line. He also meets the rabbi's beautiful daughter who convinces Epstein to become involved in her own project - a film about the life of David being shot in the desert - with life-changing consequences. But Epstein isn't the only seeker embarking on a metaphysical journey that dissolves his sense of self place and history. Leaving her family in Brooklyn a young well-known novelist arrives at the Tel Aviv Hilton where she has stayed every year since birth. Troubled by writer's block and a failing marriage she hopes that the hotel can unlock a dimension of reality - and her own perception of life - that has been closed off to her. But when she meets a retired literature professor who proposes a project she can't turn down she's drawn into a mystery that alters her life in ways she could never have imagined.
