Description: Alice seeks salvation from her dreary, small New Hampshire town by attempting to reinvent herself from a cashier at the local grocery store into a marine biologist. She begins the journey from New Hampshire to Florida in her rusted out Ford Escort. She soon realizes, however, that life on the road ain't all it's cracked up to be. Car trouble leads her to Sandra and Bill, an older couple travelling around the country in an RV. Sandra takes Alice in, as if she were her own daughter, and Alice happily accepts this surrogate family. But as the highway miles slowly pass, underlying motivations and intentions begin to surface.
