LOU, a 27-year old mechanic, is on a trip to San Angelo, Texas when she spots the 17-year old BEA stranded with a backpack by the side of the road. So Lou decides to offer her a ride. But when Bea gets in the car, Lou realizes that Bea is trying to run away from home, and won’t tell her why.

While Lou drives West to visit family & process the sudden death of her mother, Bea must come to terms with what happened to her back home, and find a way to sleep at night. But as the two of them travel further West, they run into a mysterious cat, a series of ghost towns, and a group of shadowy cowboys that appear in the night like the Marfa Lights. Will Lou overcome the loss of a mother who was hard to love? Will Bea ever go back home? And what exactly are they going to do about the men & ghost towns in Texas that seem to want to swallow them whole? A story about maps, mothers, their dyke daughters, & one particular cat – are you listening? – is a queer Western about grief like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
