When Paula (Briana Middleton), a young Midwesterner who dreams of a fresh start in California, runs into Sloane (Stella Everett), her secret high school crush who has her demons, the chemistry is electric. What starts as a casual reunion between two high school classmates quickly evolves into something deeper when they make a spontaneous decision to road-trip across the country together. However, unforeseen consequences make their journey more perilous, transforming their whirlwind romance into a tense thriller.
