Cuando le pasa su tarjeta con una propina, es el comienzo de su vida juntos. Ese mismo d̕a, el medio hermano de Vincent, Paul, garabatea una nota en la pared con ventana del hotel: "¿Por qǔ no te tragas vidrios rotos?". Leon Prevant, un ejecutivo de env̕os de una empresa llamada Neptune-Avramidis, ve la nota del bar del hotel y se conmueve hasta la m̌dula. Trece ąos despǔs, Vincent desaparece misteriosamente de la cubierta de un barco Neptune-Avramidis. Sus vidas pintan un cuadro de codicia y culpa, fantas̕a y engąo, arte y los fantasmas de nuestro pasado. Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star glass and cedar palace on an island in British Columbia. Jonathan Alkaitis works in finance and owns the hotel. When he passes him his card with a tip, it's the beginning of their life together. That same day, Vincent's half-brother, Paul, scrawls a note on the windowed wall of the hotel: "Why don't you swallow broken glass." Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for a company called Neptune-Avramidis, sees the note from the hotel bar and is shaken to his core. Thirteen years later Vincent mysteriously disappears from the deck of a Neptune-Avramidis ship. Their lives paint a picture of greed and guilt, fantasy and delusion, art and the ghosts of our pasts.
