A woman, a girl, a Jeep. Add vodka, two measures of kidnapping and a minor bit of arson. Shake silly.
Kate Denai is alone and at yet another crossroads when she finds a tiny stowaway, five-year-old Sadie Beck, in the back of her Jeep on Halloween night.
After returning Sadie to an aggressively negligent stepfather, Kate skips town the next day because of an unfortunate revenge-gone-wrong incident involving the mistaken identity of a water jug, a spot of nudity and one hell of a blaze.
At a rest stop, Kate finds Sadie in her Jeep again. Convinced she needs to save her now Kate stumbles into a frantic journey carrying them across state lines, over spiritual borders, and into a complex landscape of moral choices her prior transgressions leave her unprepared to handle.
She needs a nap.
Kidnapping is taxing business. So many details. Always learn to drive a stick before you steal one in the middle of the night. And for god’s sake, teach the child about the brake before the car rolls down the hill in neutral.
Also, make sure the water is water before you throw it on a fire.
Um. Who’s saving whom again?
