Since her aunt threw herself into the depths of a quarry, Josette has been obsessed with death. She decides to run away, hoping to escape the madness she believes is running in her family blood. In her frantic race, her destiny will crash into another fugitive, Michelle, who may well save her from her curse. But the harsh reality will catch up with them at high speed.
