Blurb: 
Gathered on a remote South Pacific island to watch the astronomical event of a passing comet in 1965, a group of highly intelligent astronomers and their families witness more than they bargained for. They see a young child fall to his death. This has a profound effect on the group and triggers a great deal of self-discovery and personal change. The story is told over the course of three decades as the observers meet every six years on the island to witness the return of the comet. Even though these are some of the most brilliant minds on the planet, they cannot escape the psychological and spiritual conundrums which affect us all.
