Finding a child's diary in the body cavity of a Toni doll piques Lena Vincenti's interest. Wanting to know what happened to the child accused of arson and murder, Lena and her friend Alice Tricklebank set off on a road trip. The dark secret of the little girl is four decades old. To keep it in the shadows, a woman is killed with a baseball bat. The windows and tires of Lena's pink van are destroyed, and Alice's dive for the ditch prevents a SUV from teaching her to fly.
