Travis McKinley works at a job he hates, is trapped in a marriage devoid of passion, and suffers under the realization that he has made nothing of his life. But one Christmas, as he plays a round of golf, he sees the "putting line," a mystical, mythical vision of the route the ball will take to the cup. And Travis begins to play golf like a pro. He makes it to the PGA Senior Open, where he plays with Nicklaus and Floyd, and on the 17th green, as his wife and kids and a massive television audience watches, something happens that changes Travis McKinley for the rest of his life.

During his month-long retreat to a rest home in rural Pennsylvania, the Reverend Thomas Marshfield keeps a detailed log of his daily thoughts, which tend toward the sexual and the melancholy.

Away from his usual surroundings, the cleric finds himself helplessly trying to make sense of the tangled skein of his desires.
