Thomas Bradley, Billy Zane, is a widowed Classics professor at Oxford who finds his research grant hanging by a thread. He’s close to a potential breakthrough in studying ancient love spells, but time is running out, and the university won’t grant him any more extensions. In a bid to salvage his work, he accepts one last opportunity to complete his studies and travels to the Greek island of Spetses, where he is invited to stay with a supportive Oxford don, Professor Coulter, John Nettleton. He brings along his 12-year-old daughter Serena, Amber Savva, a curious and thoughtful girl who loves mythology and subtly keeps her father grounded as his devotion to the past blurs the line between scholar and mentor.
