Moxie just wanted more out of life. More adventure, more pleasure, more money. 
Leaving her painful and uninteresting life as a high school dropout and her drunken mother's keeper behind, Moxie travels the country doing what she was raised to do. Lie, cheat, and steal her way to greatness. 
After a rather lucrative night in Las Vegas, Moxie speeds her way down Route 66, where she loses control of both her trusty Mustang and her life as she knows it. Crawling out of her totaled car through the glass and the dust of the desert she meets Gabe, a mysterious stranger with a last-resort business opportunity that could be just what she needs to get out of Vegas before her scams catch up to her. That is if she can resist the temptation Gabe inflicts on her. 

As Moxie's addiction to Gabe develops she wonders if she'll make it out of Vegas a free woman before she's locked into his affection, or worse a jail cell.
