She hit the road. The road hit back.

Comedy

For burger-joint employee Tammy, a bad day keeps getting worse. She wrecks her car, loses her job, and finds that her husband has been unfaithful. It's time to hit the road, but without money or transportation, Tammy's options are limited. Her only choice is a road trip with her hard-drinking grandmother Pearl, who has a car, cash, and an itch to see Niagara Falls. It's not the escape Tammy had in mind, but it may be what she needs.

VIBE

This is a chaotic, laugh-out-loud journey fueled by desperation and a surprising bond. It feels like a series of increasingly absurd misadventures, wrapped in a blunt, unfiltered comedic tone. Expect a propulsive, messy ride with a surprising undercurrent of heart amidst the mayhem.
