After a surpassingly happy year in each other's arms, Tamiko Gashkin and Alec Burns are now separated-she at college in Massachusetts, and he in Tokyo. So begins Lost in Transition a compelling tale of the disorientation, temptation and loss that almost inevitably shadows young lovers separated by half the globe. Entranced by exciting new opportunities, while still held emotionally hostage by their remembrance of past joys, will our duo find positive ways forward, get back to each other, or become unhappily stuck somewhere in between?
