Claire grew up in a small town, far from the glitz and glamour of London. She has begun to outgrow the life laid out before her. Claire yearns for the adventure and independence of a counterculture taking root across the world. One day a chance encounter leads to an unexpected opportunity: a getaway where famous artists, models, fashion designers and musicians, even the Rolling Stones, have been known to visit. When Claire arrives in Marrakesh, she's swept up in a heady world of music, drugs and communal living. But one magnetic young woman seems to hold sway over the entire scene. Talitha Getty, socialite wife of a famous oil heir, has pulled everyone from Yves Saint Laurent to Marianne Faithfull into her orbit. Yet when she meets Claire, the pair instantly connect. As they grow closer, and the inner circle tightens, the realities of Talitha's precarious life set off a chain of dangerous events that could alter Claire's life forever.
