A darkly comedic survival story following a sharp-witted teenage runaway navigating dangerous streets with irreverent humor as her primary weapon.

Based on true events (mostly), Freddie, a 15-year-old runaway becomes intimately acquainted with California’s “Murder City” after being released from jail, just shy of midnight. Absurdly self-reliant, completely broke and 120 miles away from her friends she has nothing to depend on but her wit and youthful charm.
