In Paris, Veronique has just split up with her boyfriend and is driving home in her "little white car." While passing through a tunnel in central Paris, a large car approaches from behind at high speed. Veronique is determined to not let it pass, and it collides with the back of her car and crashes. Seeing the news next morning, Veronique realizes that she killed a princess. The remainder of the book tells of Veronique's life and loves before the crash, and the subsequent efforts to conceal her involvement.
