Synopsis

Colleen Bradley is married with a teenage son and a modest antique business when she decides to take an East Coast road trip. Her niece Tamara, sixteen and struggling with a run of poor choices, becomes her unexpected co-pilot.

The journey takes another turn when they encounter Colleen's old college friend Bitty, clearly distressed and stranded. Bitty gives them a story full of holes: angry with her husband, she took off on her own, only to have her car stolen. Both Colleen and Tamara sense there is more she isn't sharing, but Colleen offers her a ride to Florida anyway. One becomes two becomes three as the women make their way down the coast together.

As the miles pass, tensions rise from Tamara's troubling past and Bitty's hidden secrets. With only each other for company, the three discover that a genuine friendship can serve as a roadmap to whatever it is you are actually looking for.
