after a violent crime leaves los angeles behind them, jon and rosemary disappear into a forgotten desert town where nobody asks questions and nobody seems to care what happens beyond the limits of their own lives.
hiding out in a cheap motel, they dye their hair, alter their appearances, count their money, and wait for the world to forget them, but the world hasn't forgotten.
at a quiet roadside diner, a lonely waitress named sherri watches the mysterious couple from across the room, there's something about them she can't explain, they seem reckless, terrified, and completely alive, everything she has never felt herself to be.
when jon leaves behind a stack of cash stained with blood, sherri realizes who they are and instead of turning them in, she asks to join them.
as the three disappear into motel rooms, trailer parks, stolen cars, and empty desert roads, sherri finds herself becoming closer to rosemary than she ever expected.
meanwhile, a determined detective follows their trail into a town that seems determined to protect its secrets, discovering that everyone has their own reasons for looking the other way.
jon and rosemary know the truth no one else does: they aren't running toward a future, they're running toward the end because sometimes love isn't about surviving together, sometimes it's about choosing who you'll die beside.
