After abandoning his academic career and a romantic relationship, Jason Webster settles in Spain to pursue duende, the intense emotion that drives flamenco. Between guitar lessons, an affair with a married bailaora, and the gypsy world of Madrid, he recounts an immersion that borders on self-destruction and becomes a journey of personal maturity.
