comedy crime drama kidnapping roadtrip romance

What happens when you combine a slick acquisitions agent, a spunky bar waitress, and a temperamental car that threatens to fall apart at every stop sign?

Finn Gilroy is rising through the ranks of a thriving art trafficking organization-until one night's misstep lands him in hot water.

Newly engaged to a respectable man who makes good money, Stella Carstens is certain she's made the right decision. As much as she yearns for her wild-child days, she's looking forward to the stability of marriage. Or so she tells herself.

But when Finn ropes Stella into his grand scheme to get back into his boss's good graces, they're both forced to reconsider their priorities as they work to make ends meet-and avoid killing each other in the process. Each of them believes that once their road trip across the Southwest is over, their lives will return to normal. Little do they know that what they find in Texas will flip both their lives upside down.
