Corsica, 1993. Seventeen-year-old Séverine Guimard has always felt destined for fame. Beautiful, charismatic, and able to seduce whomever she pleases, the daughter of the French Prefect of Corsica and an American poet knows in her heart that it’s only a matter of time before she’ll escape this provincial island for Hollywood’s glimmering lights. But fate takes her on a different path when three men tear her from her bike, duct tape her mouth and wrists, and ferry her in the trunk to a safehouse somewhere in the island’s remote interior. Left to make good on their threat to kill their hostage, the men ultimately balk at hurting the headstrong girl who has slowly begun to win their affection.
