Frank Legar, depending on the angle from which he is viewed, passes off as a pain in the neck, a sexual pervert, a mentally deranged, a righteous fellow, a living paradox... Then, he rescues Lorraine Pinson, a beautiful and wealthy adolescent, from suicide. They become good friends later. Such friendship unleashes an avalanche of intense emotions and uncontrollable passion, in Cows Island. Along the way, philosophy, religion, art, politics, science are being questioned. This story is a dramatization of "The sources of values", an essay on the world conditions by the same author.
