Summary

High schoolers Trixie and Lux pack light for a weekend getaway, but after a single night of violence derails their trip they become wanted fugitives and the face of a #MeToo movementWhen Trixie picks up her best friend Lux for their weekend getaway, she is 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. When a single night of violence derails their trip, 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. Transformed by the media into the face of a #MeToo movement they didn't ask to lead, 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. -- adapted from jacket
