Heading north to avoid the US draft in the summer of 1971, Monty meets the beautiful, enigmatic Marianne. They share an unexpected connection yet when he awakes, she is gone. He spends the rest of the heady summer thinking of her, as he begins to realize the land to which he ran is not as benign as imagined.

A bizarre encounter in 1969 with a beautiful and frightening stalker has a ricochet effect into the present day, where a young woman grieves the loss of her grandmother.
