In the quiet of their home, Victoria Daniels, a bored yet beautiful brunette, finds an escape from her everyday life in the pages of a book. She sits, her legs crossed, a picture of domesticity, yet her mind is far away, lost in the story unfolding before her eyes. Her husband, Leon Lambert, watches her from the doorway, a hint of frustration in his gaze. He's used to her being buried in a book, but today, he wishes she'd look up, engage, respond. But Victoria is in her own world, and for now, nothing will bring her back.
