Summary

When Trixie picks up her best friend Lux for their weekend getaway, she's looking to escape for a little while, to forget the despair of being trapped in their dead-end Rust Belt town and the daunting responsibility of caring for her ailing mother. The girls are packing light: a supply of Diet Coke for Lux and her '89 Canon to help her frame the world in a sunnier light; half a pack of cigarettes for Trixie that she doesn't really smoke, and a knife--one she's just hanging on to for a friend--that she's never used before. But a single night of violence derails their trip and will forever change the course of the girls' lives, as they go from ordinary high schoolers to wanted fugitives. Trying to stay ahead of the cops and a hellscape of media attention, the girls grapple with an unforgiving landscape, rapidly diminishing supplies, and disastrous decisions at every turn. As they are transformed by the media into the face of a #MeToo movement they didn't ask to lead and the road before them begins to run out, Trixie and Lux realize that they can only rely on each other, and that the love they find together is the one thing that truly makes them free.
