Jesse, Vicks, and Mel could not be more different, but they all share one desperate goal: they need to escape their suffocating small town. Sick of their everyday worries, family drama, and predictable routines, the three teenage girls decide to pack up and hit the highway for an unforgettable road trip to Miami. Told in alternating voices, their journey south is anything but a smooth ride. As the miles roll by, the girls encounter unexpected detours, hilarious mishaps, and moments that test the very limits of their friendship. Vicks is running from a complicated relationship, Jesse is hiding a secret that could change everything, and Mel is just trying to figure out how to break the rules for once in her life. Trapped in a car together, they are forced to confront the issues they left behind and the truths they have been hiding from each other. This sun-soaked adventure is a funny, heartfelt exploration of independence, self-discovery, and what it truly means to be bad when you are trying to find yourself.
