The book follows Charlie, a young woman who drops out of film college due to the trauma of her best friend Maddy being murdered by a serial killer.

She is briefly offered a chance to escape with Marge's help and even manages to call her boyfriend Robbie, but Charlie decides to keep traveling with Josh in order to get revenge and stop him from killing anyone else.

Unable to give her any of the information she desires as she has begun to hallucinate, Charlie is almost attacked by Marge but saved by the last minute by Josh.

Robbie was the murderer and Charlie did start a relationship with Josh, who left the bounty hunter profession in order to become a chauffeur.
