After the sudden death of his mother a man goes on a journey in search of the father he's not even sure still lives, on the road he finds himself rescuing a lone woman he finds in the woods. The pair are thrown together out of necessity and as the road seems to stretch out to infinity before them, the girl begins to tell him the interesting story of her life. As her tale unfolds day by day, the man finds himself enthralled in her past, a past filled with heartache, adventure, and events almost too fanciful for him to believe.
