Description: Dreading a future as dull as her dysfunctional family's, quirky eighteen-year-old Hester marries a near-stranger and sets out from Florida on a road trip with him and her ten-year-old cousin, Jethro, only to be derailed by a self-avowed "Jesus Freak" and a national news alert that she is a drug-abusing kidnapper.
