In DETOURS, seemingly ordinary souls upend their lives to chase extraordinary compulsions.

Who would expect a friend, neighbor, spouse or co-worker to do the unthinkable—stalk an unsuspecting girl to capture her, plot a child’s kidnapping, or assume someone else’s identity?

In order to fulfill their implausible notions, they toss aside inhibitions and pursue devious means. Their escapades test the limits of how far someone will go to hide aberrant behavior. In doing so, they evoke the baffling complexities and mysteries that lie within us all.
