A bittersweet return to the past where an author confronts the ghost of his first love through an unexpected encounter, blending sensual memory with the ache of time and secrecy.

An author returns to his hometown of Cognac for the first time in 35 years to help promote a distillery. Once there, he meets his first love’s son, Lucas. Memories come rushing back to him: irrepressible attraction, bodies becoming one in the heat of desire, a passion that can never be revealed… His first love’s name was Thomas. They were 17.
