Lise has been driven to distraction by working in the same accountants' office for sixteen years. So she leaves everything behind her and flies abroad on the holiday of a lifetime. But her trip takes on a far darker significance as she heads on a journey of self-destruction. Infinity and eternity attend Lise's last terrible day in an unnamed southern city, as she meets her fate.
