In a riveting fractured narrative, newlyweds Arden and Sierra Cole, returning from their honeymoon in Mexico, are stalked by a killer who believes they witnessed his crime. He befriends them and then, in an evil game of manipulation and cunning, applying “21st century technology,” the killer sets out to erase any memory they might have of the event. Calla, who amuses herself (and fascinates others) with erotic self-portraits and veil dancing, yearns to escape from Texas to Marrakech. She lives with Ned Prime, a smooth, wealthy Texan, who is enticed by her, but cannot possess her. Prime is shadowed by Crockett, a man over whom he has unexplained control. This cast of characters weaves through the Coles’ lives as they innocently honeymoon, unaware that they have been targeted by a killer.
