When JH fails to return from a holiday Emma is worried. With Jake, she sets out on a search in the Flinders Ranges, camping. From JH they had learned about the real meaning of Eros and how being a Friend of Jesus is special. He told them about the language of love. It is all a matter of becoming authentically yourself. Being in love, and intimately living together out bush, Emma and Jake are faced with this language. Emma is determined to get it right. Jake finds a surprising solution. The ancient idea of Eros and the true meaning of love are given renewed relevancy in a story that is never superficial.
