Julia, a solitary writer, disenchanted with life, discovers a pagan world on a side-street theatre of London's West End, a world packed with riddles and oracles ruled by the irresistible sensuality of a living god.\u003cbr\u003eA murder and a cryptic telephone call lead her to Daniel, the incarnation of the god Dionysus.
