Based on L'Etranger by Albert Camus, the play is about M, a man who gets involved in a violent murder. As his story unfolds we see the journey of a man as he struggles against an indifferent world. A stranger on the beach picks up a stranded shell and hears in it the secrets of the ocean. He is returning home after twenty years, remembering along the way all the secrets he uncovered that were hidden away in those grains of sand. Two stories... two lives that flow in and out of each other to represent that one life is good as another.
