Itapeaçu, Urucará, Prainha. The Amazonas names thrill Dominique, and fill her with a fearful attraction for places where the boats will touch shore again.

A harried Canadian consultant flies along on her husband’s foreign assignment to Curitiba, south-west of São Paolo.

Dominique has designed and navigated an irreverent lifestyle strictly on her own terms, so she is appalled that her captivating new friend Aida’s basic freedoms and adulthood are being robbed.
When Jack spoils their dream scenario with a standard Carnaval fling, the distraught but pragmatic wife amuses herself with precision revenge strategies and intoxicating Bahian gris-gris.
