When university student Guido van Thool accidentally bumps into the
beautiful ballerina Anna Zweig in Loti’s café, it sets them off on a whirlwind
romance of ballet concerts, anti-globalisation marches and love trysts in
bluebell woods. Even when Guido is called away for military service, time can’t
test their faithfulness, as they keep their passion warm with love letters.
Paralleling their lives, however, is that of Judge Jeremiah Delahyde, a
profligate positioned in power by his crony, the government minister
Bartholomew Smythe. These parallel lives collide on New Year’s Eve when the
drunken judge knocks Anna down in his car with fatal consequences. Guido swears
revenge. But how does one retaliate against a corrupt and powerful,
politically-appointed high court judge?
