He knows if he goes it will mean the end of his research collaborations with free world colleagues.

When he meets Shyra Devlin at the university, it's love at first sight for Michael and Shyra feels the attraction, too. But can they overcome the spiritual differences that exist between them and find a happy ever after? Or must they go their separate ways forever?
