Notions Outgrown

Summer of 85 and Rusty is granted liberty on a forsaken, desert island in the Persian Gulf. As fate would have it, he meets Fitz, a naive country girl who's made bad choices, landing her in the worst duty station ever.

Rusty seeks truth in physics; Fitz craves excitement. But two weeks in Bahrain set off a series of events that will change them both forever, during which circumstances illustrate how reality is pre-determined, revealing truths and consequences neither of them expected.

At its core, their story is a full-spectrum portrayal of faraway adventure on the scorching sands of Bahrain. But their tale is not as simple as that. Their paths follow a journey of self-discovery through tragedy - where their philosophies are forged in ways neither of them expected. In the end, will chance bring them closer or pull them apart?
