Phoebe and Thelonius have returned to Rome to cheer their quixotic father. Years before, following his disappearance, their mom one day informed them, 'Your dad's in Italy, probably went to join the Red Brigade.' And now dad Jim, along with others in his palazzo, faces eviction from his apartment on a fashionable square.
The gentrification of Rome is just another excuse for Thelonius to shake his fist at the undiscerning world. While Phoebe, though emotionally enmeshed with her brooding, disenchanted brother, feels revived by the city's pulse and flow and is all at once shocked by the realization that something crucial is missing from her life.
Thelonius soon finds that Rome reserves a special place in her heart for misfits like himself. And Phoebe discovers her senses are ravenous after years of self-abnegation.
'Rome is a grand old trollop,' she observes. 'And to think of all the lovers she has conspired to bring together.' While the love Thelonius explores becomes an arduous rite of passage in his quest for self-discovery.
