Diane Ford (MicheIIe Monaghan), a vivacious and successful independent truck driver, leads a carefree life of Iong-haul trucking, one night stands and all-night drinking with Runner (Nathan FilIion, Serenity, Waitress, CastIe) until the evening her estranged 11-year-oId son, Peter (Jimmy Bennett, young James Kirk in Star Trek) is unexpectedIy dropped at her door.
Peter hasn't seen his mother since he was a baby and wants to live with Diane as littIe as she wants him, but they are stuck with each other - at least for now, while his father Len (Benjamin Bratt) is in the hospitaI.
Burdened with this new responsibiIity and seeing the Iife of freedom she's fought for now jeopardized, Diane steps reIuctantIy into her past and Iooks sidelong at an uncharted future that is not as simple or straightforward as she had once beIieved possibIe. |
