The Ageless of Aquarius

At a writers' awards ceremony an impromptu interview by Randal Poe exposes a reclusive national celebrity, although for Randal fame is diminished by love at first sight: poet Button Springfield hails from the same Appalachian crossroads where Delray Mabler has lived since his exit from the limelight. But in lusting after Button, Randal loses his notes and Mabler is found out. She offers him refuge on commune land owned by her parents who also rent a ridge top to a cult of stargazers whose agenda proposes a lunar rendezvous.Into this picture steps Baptist minister, August Tarbush, and FBI agent, Jack Riggs, whose cover as a real estate developer has aligned the two against the commune, but cult leader Argon Kirkcops is also under suspicion; one among those free spirits is the 60s radical bomber and cold case fugitive, Al Bannister.To reinvent oneself takes daring-do, perseverance, or outright lunacy, but it can unravel in a heartbeat. In the antics of The Ageless of Aquarius, few are who they claim to be and allegiance, and love too, is fickle.
