A white man in his 30s learns that the young biracial hitchhiker he has picked up is not at all what she seemed … and vice versa.

Lane, a 36-year-old white man, picks up a young biracial hitchhiker in upstate New York on a summer’s morning. Dee is wary, thinking he’s hoping for a casual hook-up, but she also desperately needs a ride; he says he stopped because she looks scared, an impression that is soon borne out. As they drive on, the lies they tell each other about who they are, where they’ve been and where they’re going, slowly begin to unravel as they learn from each other about missing fathers and missing daughters and families. In the end, both realize they need to face their demons … and decide whether to turn back or keep going.
