Following the loss of their baby, Tom and Alice, from Seattle, rent a Winnebago and head off for a road trip into Canada. At one of the campsites, they meet Ocean (Jenny) and Blue (Simon), a young couple who are expecting a baby and living off the land. They offer them a ride, and something seems off with them. Alice soon learns they’re on the run from the police. When Tom pulls a gun on them, Simon turns the tables on them and takes them hostage. With Tom injured, Alice is told to do the driving, and they hit many towns, rob some places and end up at the farm of an elderly couple, where things reach a shocking conclusion. This is a psychological road trip from hell. Alice is the voice of reason throughout and does everything she can to try and get Jenny on her side. With a climactic, shocking twist and ending, this is one trip you do not want to miss.
