⚢ 1947 After leaving her husband behind in New York, Carol Aird had no idea how she ended up in Northern California. After jumping in the first flight available at the airport, she had found herself in Nevada, leasing a car and just started driving, throwing the map out of the window after the first two days. She didn't need a map. She did not have a destination, so she just went wherever the next best road would take her. If she ended up in the small villiage by fate or chance did not matter, when she arrived at a very busy motel. She did not expect so much hustle and bustle in such a small town, but when she picked up the newspaper a young boy dropped in front of her and read the headline it dawned to her. She had heard about the priest massacre on the radio. Not having much in interest in staying for a longer time with all the fuss around her, Carol plans to leave again after a few day, driving somewhere peaceful. Her plan gets busted when she runs into Mildred Ratched. Something about the strange woman immediately catches her interest and she starts feeling things that she did not expected to feel after what had happend with Harge and also with Abby.
