Eighteen-year-old Monroe (named for Marilyn) is smart, but she's
outsmarted herself. She's got a full-ride scholarship...and now, an
arrest record. One more black mark and she'll be waiting tables for
life.
The fact that she's grown up with crime memorabilia in her very
molecules doesn't help. Her special fascination has always been with
outlaw lovers Bonnie and Clyde, whom Monroe romanticizes as something
other than the cold-blooded killers they were. Monroe, however, is full
of good intentions, until her dad hands her some relics--poetry written
by Bonnie Parker and bullets taken from the bodies of the outlaws after
they died in a shootout. That's when things get really strange. Those
murderous slugs prove pretty dangerous to Monroe and her new friend,
Jack, as well, who suddenly begin to feel that the spirits Bonnie and
Clyde are actually taking over their personalities.
But that's impossible. Or is it?
The two outlaws--beautiful, ruthless Bonnie and her awkward
sweetheart--seem more than willing to seize another chance at their loco
life. Is it just Monroe's overactive imagination? Or can this actually
be happening? If Monroe's just hallucinating, what about Jack? Then it
becomes clear that Monroe and Jack have only days to get the outlaws
back to hell, where they belong, or the two modern-day teens could end
up just like Bonnie and Clyde did, together...and dead.
