Twenty-six-year-old Dany Longo speeds out of Paris in her boss's exquisite Thunderbird. She's spent her Friday night working thanks to him; now she's stolen his car and headed for the sea. But this sun-kissed joyride soon spirals into a nightmare. Everywhere she goes, strangers recognise her dark glasses and the car: she came this way just yesterday. Then a corpse appears in the boot of the Thunderbird. Either she's being framed or she's losing her mind. She was in Paris the day before... wasn't she?
