"One afternoon at the end of August, Catalina, who has just turned sixteen, leaves her best friend's house in a suburban neighborhood after an unpleasant mishap. When she reaches the road, she decides that the only way to get back is to hitchhike. Like any young girl her age, she is terrified of getting into a stranger's car, but not as terrified as what she imagines awaits her if she breaks the strict curfew imposed by her parents."--
