Quentin Jacobsen has long been captivated by Margo Roth Spiegelman, whose reputation at their high school is shaped by her adventures. When she appears at his window and draws him into an all-night road trip driven by revenge, he goes along with her.

By the next day Margo is absent from school, and a week later she is still missing. As Quentin follows the clues connected to her disappearance, his search leads him further into a mystery that builds towards another road trip across America, leaving him increasingly uncertain about who and what he is trying to find.
