One night, Lucy discovers Ian camped out in the library with a backpack full of supplies and a plan to escape. Without quite knowing how, she becomes involved in his escape, convinced that she must protect him from his reality. Thus begins a road trip as outlandish as it is revealing, from Missouri to Vermont, accompanied by an untimely boyfriend and family secrets that come to light.
