London, 1896. Robert Wallis, a bohemian aspiring poet, accepts a proposal from an enigmatic coffee merchant to compose a "coffee vocabulary" that captures its varied and rich flavors. Intoxicated by its captivating aromas and the even more captivating presence of Emily, the merchant's daughter, Robert falls deeply in love. Emily's world is equally shaken by this proximity: little by little, she too discovers that it is not possible to awaken some senses without challenging others. Reluctantly, Robert leaves for Africa in search of the origin of the world's best coffee. The exoticism of the African continent catches him by surprise. Everything Wallis thought he knew—about coffee, love, and himself—begins to be questioned.
