Following college, Karen relocates to Security, Colorado, to be close to boyfriend Paul.

Unable to relate to life around her, Karen has a growing dissatisfaction with her existence, and an unusual psychological portrait emerges as she attempts to deal with everyday realities and finding security in Security.
