Los Angeles newspaper reporter Laura LaFlamme is brutally attacked while on assignment in El Salvador. When, after regular doses of anti-depressants and shock treatment, she is able to return to her job, she discovers that her editors want her to exploit her ordeal in order to sell papers. Disgusted, horrified and still traumatized by her nightmare in Central America, she quits her job and vanishes -- from her friends, from her family, from everyone. Enter Bill Wade, his curiosity about a colleague he scarcely knew becomes an obsession, Wade launches a one-man search for Laura. His journey takes him to dusty West Texas, the home of the Marfa "Ghost Lights," to the top of an enchanted mesa in New Mexico's Sky City, and ultimately to a small weaving village known as the "Lourdes of the Southwest." It is here, in the presence of a dramatically changed Laura LaFlamme, that Wade realizes that his true journey -- the one into her soul and inside his own heart -- has just begun.
