A free ride may not take you where you expect to go.Two young hippie women thumb it across the country in this fast-paced comic drama. Mo and Crystal, friends but not really, walk a fine line between taking control and losing it.  Bad choices cancel out their good luck when offered something more than a free ride. A straight shot to California becomes a zig-zag game of hide and seek.“I’m facing east, heading west, my thumb a’pointin’ to the future. Hippy chicks hitchhiking to California? We’re hard to resist. Of course, you stick out your thumb, you’re sticking out your neck, too. Dump trucks and semi-tractor trailers roar by, inches away.  Some toot their greetings, some honk their apologies for not carrying us along. We should probably get over the idea that a free ride is a rare gift. We’re greedy that way and have yet to turn one down.”
