Meggie's distant and enigmatic new coworker Sabine is the person Maggie would like to be. When Sabine announces she's switching to the nightshift, Meggie impulsively decides to follow her. Giving up her daytime existence, her reliable boyfriend, and the trappings of a normal life, Meggie finds a liberating sense of freedom as she indulges her growing preoccupation with Sabine and plunges into the transient and uncertain world of the nightshift worker. She passes the hours at work clipping crime stories from the next day's newspapers. Hours between night and day are spent haunting deserted bars and nightclubs with her eclectic coworkers and going on increasingly wild adventures with Sabine. As Meggie desperately tries to hold on to their intense friendship, does she truly know her friend at all? -- adapted from jacket
