Link, a handsome and brilliant Dartmouth graduate, saves a woman from a late-night attack. Due to the thick fog, they cannot easily discern each other, so it is only when they enter a bar that Camillo sees her rescuer is black and Link learns that the woman is white. Brought together by chance, Link and Camilo draw each other into furtive encounters that violate the rigid and uncompromising social codes of their times. From the author of "The Street".
