Evelyn has left her husband and driven with her daughter, who is thirteen, across America to the damp Pacific Northwest town where she grew up. There she sips from a hidden supply of liquor and smokes beneath the wet trees with a hen for company, while the volcano on the skyline stirs and scientists, tourists and thrill-seekers crowd in. After a car accident, calls begin from a man she cannot place.
