A whistle-blowing doctor hides incriminating information in a magical book with the power to transform all who come onto contact with it, prompting unwanted attention from the heavies at a powerful pharmaceutical company and setting five unwitting strangers on a strange collision course. Bookstore manager Dante harbors a deep dark secret, and as his former lover Zoe finds her life falling to pieces, his best customer Gina claims to have all the right answers when it comes to matters of the heart. Meanwhile, movie-buff Marcia can't stop cracking wise, and diminutive clerk Norman is never short on wild conspiracy theories. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
