Late one night, Alex Cooper, a 15-year-old high school student who helps with the recycling program, runs barefoot through the street, ducks behind a parked car to avoid a passing car, and then slips behind a bus stop. When a bus rounds the corner, she steps in front of it, signaling the dangerous fragility of the moment and setting the stage for a tense, emotional journey.
