Synopsis

Accumulation of material is what many feel they need to better their lives instead of understanding the quality of life is stronger than the quantity of life. Jon Marx, a handsome young professional school administrator, has worked hard to amass material items of which he thinks will bring him that purpose we seek in life. Once Jon has reached his goals in life such as career, home, relationship, and prestige, he finds that it is not all that it seems to be, and that happiness is far from a touch away. On his way to work one beautifully sunny morning on Highway 23, Jon misses his exit and continues to drive for no apparent reason, hearing his tires strike the lines in the weathered road. Not thinking of the person he is leaving behind nor the objects he owns, he drives till he can't drive anymore. Mentally tired, lost, and miles away from the place he considered home, Jon discovers a small town where the people don't own much but they are happy. Jon has searched his whole life to find the secret to happiness and sees it in the meager homes, simple lifestyles and the natural surroundings. With the absence of material and/or possessions, Jon discovers his Clarity of Absence. This journey into the man's soul is a detailed, deeply moving, and often humorous look into the sensitive side of a contemporary metro-sexual's odyssey through life, love, desire, passion, and his ability to reach that place many of us seek: Enlightenment.
