The girls are packing light: a supply of Diet Coke for Lux and her '89 Canon to help her frame the world in a sunnier light; half a pack of cigarettes for Trixie that she doesn't really smoke, and a knife—one she's hanging on to for a friend—that she's never used before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut a single night of violence derails their trip and will forever change the course of the girls' lives, as they go from ordinary high schoolers to wanted fugitives.
