Inside Virgil Caine

Somewhere along the way, Virgil Caine's best laid plans have gone awry. Approaching middle age, he has no career, no family and most probably a growing sense of impending doom. By the harsh metrics of a sick society, he is a failure. But what if the meaning of our lives lies less in our measurable achievements and more in our connection to others?Inside Virgil Caine tells one man's story through the eyes of the people whose lives he impacts during his peripatetic prime, which could be cut short due to a health-scare. Whether he is to live or die, what remains are the memories of interactions, be they moments of revolutionary tenderness in an alienated world, or the inscrutable bond of two people in a close relationship.We are others.
