Stealing the 250,000 dollars that her fresh-out-of-prison boyfriend is hording from a bank heist, she makes a run for it, fully aware that if he finds her, she will be dead. Both of these people want a chance at a clean life, but after everything they must go through to get it, that life may turn out to be nothing but a dream.
