Every man is desperate to have her. One woman is desperate to be her. But someone is desperate to kill her. If they can figure out who she is.

A bored New Jersey suburban housewife's fascination with a free-spirited woman she has read about in the personal columns leads to her being mistaken for the woman herself and into a chaotic adventure of amnesia and self-discovery.
