A teenage girl wakes up in the trunk of a car. Auto mechanics in some small town in the West called Hole are working on it. Everybody is astonished to find her there — but nobody more than the girl herself. When they ask her who she is and where she comes from, she doesn’t remember. All she has to go by are disjointed scenes in her mind about some sort of play on a stage. Somebody is reciting lines. There is a skull and an open coffin. She can almost hear the lines. But she doesn’t recall where that was or even when. She can taste the fright, something that must be blocking her memory.
The garage mechanic gives her a wad of cash and tells her to get out of his shop. But immediately she gets into trouble with a group of teenage girls who tease her and claim she must be a prostitute with those expensive clothes and diamonds around her neck. The girl doesn’t know who she is, why she is here, or how to get out of it. But she had better figure it out soon before she goes from the car trunk to the town jail.
