He has the uncanny ability to peer into her soul as well as the souls of the coffee shop patrons and puts his finger on their greatest emotional needs. Is he her savior who can lead her out of own emotional labyrinth or just a swindler? Will she find her life’s greatest love fulfilled in him or her greatest heartache?
