A promise is a promise. To her, to yourself, to those who depend on you. Love is the solution and the problem, we all learn that one way or another. For Michael, a young diplomat, the choice becomes one between two women, each with a claim on him, even as he faces challenges at work and the discovery of a criminal organization and his unwitting role in it. In the end the choice may be taken out of his hands. The diplomatic life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Even with challenges sometimes it's better, especially in a country with ancient, albeit unusual, traditions and good food. NOTE: The lurid reports of activities in connection with the Rain Festival are as yet unconfirmed.
