Benjamin is 14 years old. Tensions exist between him and his step-mother, but otherwise, he's happy. On a hot summer day in July, Benjamin, his parents, Cynthia (best girl-friend), and Mark (best guy-friend) embark off to East-West Roller Coaster Land. Unexpectedly, Benjamin loses both of his parents in a fatal roller coaster crash. Benjamin is sent off to live with his grandmother, an eccentric old woman he wishes he never met. With her, he uncovers several secrets and a strange world - a vineyard. This vineyard evolves to become Benjamin's sanctuary, his place of relaxation and peace. Then, one windy afternoon, the vineyard reveals another layer of a world - beneath all the winery. This new world will leave Benjamin surprised, scared, crushed, and ultimately, rejuvenated.
