Living alone in New York,Frannie teaches creative writing to a motley bunch of students,and secretly compiles a dictionary of street slang: virginia,n.,vagina; snapper,n.,vagina; brasole,n.,vagina. One evening at a bar,she stumbles upon a man,his face in shadow,a tattoon on his wrist,a woman kneeling between his legs. A week later a detective shows up at her door. The woman's body has been discovered in the park across the street. Soon Frannie is propelled into a sexual liaison that tests the limits of her safety and desires,as she begins a terrifying descent into the dark places that reside deep within her.
