A stylish, enigmatic psychological thriller about a troubled woman's impulsive flight through France, where her own motivations remain as obscured as her vision.

Dany Longo is red-haired, beautiful, disturbed, passionate--and nearsighted. As she speeds through the south of France in a purloined Thunderbird on an errand for her employer and his wife, no one, including Dany herself, knows where she is headed--or why she is going there.
