When Trixie picks up her best friend, Lux, for their weekend getaway, they're looking to forget the despair of being trapped in their dead-end Rust Belt town. The girls are packing light: a supply of Diet Coke and an '89 Canon to help Lux frame the world in a sunnier light, half a pack of cigarettes that Trixie doesn't really smoke, and a knife she's hanging on to for a friend that she's never used before.
But a single night of violence derails their trip, and the girls go from ordinary high schoolers to wanted fugitives. Trying to stay ahead of the cops and media attention, Trixie and Lux 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, Trixie and Lux realize that they can rely only on each other and that the love they find together is the one thing that truly makes them free.
