A buddy-comedy road trip that balances humor and heart, exploring unlikely friendship and caregiving through the lens of two women from opposite sides of the law.

In between caring for her mother, a young woman works part time at a prison. The rookie guard gets a chance to prove her mettle when she's tasked with accompanying a hell-raising inmate on an emergency furlough to visit her dying mother. But things soon spiral out of control, sending the pair on a hilarious, surprising, and ultimately touching road trip.
