Summary
A bright young woman from Texas falls in love with a self-proclaimed counterculture guru in Philadelphia in the 1970s. The relationship that ensues is incredibly toxic and results in a missing person's case. When the truth comes out, the suspect goes on a flight from justice that lasts for years and spans countries.
