In this "coming of age" journey, Daniel Heller is a recent MBA graduate, finding his way in the world,
when he meets Anna. He is taken in by her tenacity, commitment, beauty, and resilience, but he soon
discovers there is more to her than meets the eye. Anna is a vehement vegan with convictions and
aspirations, or so it seems; it's just not overtly obvious to Daniel who she really is. He embarks on a
journey to discover his own professional strengths and conquer the inevitable challenges he encounters
while balancing his love life, his interest in this woman of mystery, and his own ambitions. As he
struggles to decipher what veganism is, how it affects him, and whether or not he should take an
opportunity to market prime meats in NYC for a private equity firm, he brushes up against his own
values, obsession for Anna, and what's really important to him. Ultimately, he must cope with reality and
the ramifications of his choices.
