After one of the worst winter storms, college professor Richard Bowmaster ends up rear-ending a white Lexus. He goes off to exchange his insurance information with the other driver, but he barely manages to toss his business card in her lap before she drives off, without even bothering to close her car door. Much later that night, the driver shows up to his apartment and barely manages to introduce herself as Evelyn Ortega. Desperate for help understanding her, he calls his tenant, visiting professor Lucía Maraz, to help him out.
Eventually, they realize that Evelyn needs help with something far more serious than a minor car accident. An enthusiastic Lucia and a reluctant Richard decide to get involved in what becomes a RoadTripPlot, and more.
