Living quietly and conventionally in Clarion, Maryland, Charlotte Emory has a history of casting off possessions and paring down to the bare essentials. So it's no surprise to her when she decides, one rainy afternoon in March, that it's time to leave her husband.
Then a simple trip to the bank throws Charlotte's life into an entirely different direction. A restless young man in a nylon jacket takes her hostage during a robbery--and soon the two are heading south into an unknown future, and a most unexpected fate....
