It's a big world... BUT SOMEBODY'S GOTTA DO IT.
Youth minister Adam Chamberlain is torn up about the urgings of his body, but it's the call of his heart that may capsize his virginity as he sails into foreign parts with former Miss Teen Miami Beach Vanessa Coleman.
From the topless beaches of Rio to fertility rites in the streets of Japan, to a stimulating ritualistic tattoo in Thailand, Adam follows Vanessa, who's travelling around the world to find herself. But it's in Paris, the city of love, where they just might find each other.
The globe-hopping reaches fever pitch on a darker road trip that offers up a final, irreconcilable enticement of Adam's most notorious vice - revenge for his fiancee's senseless murder.
This illegal journey to a forbidden country draws Adam, Vanessa, matriarch Mamie, as well as Adam's half sister Cyndi and her transgender hit man boyfriend, Mel, into dangerous waters - culminating in sex, death and confrontation in the form of Adam's ultimate father figure.
