Bux, a twenty-year-old gay bodybuilder and nudist, is on the run. He is not being pursued by any government, police, or tax authorities, nor by a jilted lover. He is being chased by dreams, visions, and a fate he refuses to accept. Seven faceless figures are after him; he managed to escape them in London. These seven are after something that Bux carries within him. Dionysus, Bux's former mentor, advised him: Become what the wind cannot blow away. Only then would he have a chance to become - or survive - what awaits him. But Bux has had enough of the mysteries of the god of rebirth and ecstasy, and everything related to Dionysus. Bux hides out in the surfer paradise on the Hawaiian island of Maui. On Maui, at the southern slopes of the Haleakala volcano, he finds a job as a housekeeper. The camp leader gives him a new name.
