Pascal's in a bad place. He's out of work, he and his long-time girlfriend have
just broken up, and when he goes out for a run to ease his frazzled nerves, he
falls and injures his back so badly, he's strictly forbidden from running.
What's an endorphin-loving cartoonist to do? In a bid to distract himself,
Pascal throws himself into his other pleasure: reading. And while at the
bookstore one day, he spies a young woman picking up his own book. But then she
darts out of the shop without paying. Bemused, he decides to figure out why she
did it.
