waiting for the same flight. The charismatic Jeff invites the narrator to drinks in the First
Class lounge  and there  swearing him to secrecy  begins telling him the fascinating and
disturbing story of his life  starting with a pivotal incident from his youth. Alone on the
beach  he noticed a man drowning in the rough surf  his fate resting in Jeff's hands.
Overwhelmed but ultimately determined to help  Jeff rescued and resuscitated the unconscious
man. Unexpectedly traumatized by the event  Jeff develops a fixation on the man he saved  sure
that they are now inextricably linked. Upon discovering that the man  Francis  is a renowned

the event. Even though Francis seems to have no recollection of the incident  he takes Jeff
under his wing  and Jeff becomes increasingly involved in Francis's life  dating his daughter
and attending important art world parties. As the two grow closer  Jeff notices some of
Francis's more unsavoury characteristics - his tendency to cheat artists and carry on affairs -
but  convinced that their encounter on the beach is fated  brushes his concerns aside and
continues to pursue a deeper connection with Francis  even as the nature of their relationship
grows darker...
