Lee Gulliver never thought she'd find herself living on the streets --no one ever does--but when her restaurant fails\, and she falls deeper i nto debt\, she leaves her old life behind with nothing but her clothes and her Toyota Corolla. In Seattle\, she parks in a secluded spot by the beac h to lay low and plan her next move--until early one morning\, she sees a sobbing woman throw herself into the ocean. Lee hauls the woman back to th e surface\, but instead of appreciation\, she is met with fury. The drowni ng woman\, Hazel\, tells her that she wanted to die\, that she's trapped i n a toxic\, abusive marriage\, that she's a prisoner in her own home. Lee has thwarted her one chance to escape her life. \;
\nOut of opti ons\, Hazel retreats to her gilded cage\, and Lee thinks she's seen the la st of her\, until her unexpected return the next morning. Bonded by dispar ate but difficult circumstances\, the women soon strike up a close and unl ikely friendship. And then one day\, Hazel makes a shocking request: she w ants Lee to help her disappear. It'll be easy\, Hazel assures her\, but Le e soon learns that nothing is as it seems\, and that Hazel may not be the friend Lee thought she was.
