When eighteen-year-old Rhonda first meets Dave in the college canteen in Johannesburg, she shuns him as a weirdo because he has a shaved head. But when she sees him again, she finds herself inexplicably falling in love, something that has never happened before, even though she has had numerous previous boyfriends.

But then Dave is different: charismatic, sensitive, funny and spontaneous - although he can also be unexpectedly moody and withdrawn, and blows hot and cold in their relationship.

It is only on a passionately romantic holiday together, that Rhonda finally discovers the reason for Dave's erratic behaviour and mood swings. The discovery forces her to question her own feelings, as well as all her previously held convictions and beliefs.
