It’s the year of our lord and savior – 2003. It’s hot, dry, and deadly boring – Utah. LEE (24) is a butch lesbian who's one hell of an actress and one nightmare of a waiter. When she gets cast in a non-Equity summer production, she flies down to Utah, excited to finally get work after coming out. There, she meets JANE (19), a Mormon kindergarten teacher who's fresh out of high school and freshly engaged to a man whose eyes she secretly imagines scooping out with grapefruit spoons. And she's just gotten her first gig as a seasonal acting apprentice.

But when the two of them are cast in a regional production of the worst play you’ve ever seen, they are forced to replay the same scene of intimacy over & over again. And with a reckless director, a poorly written script, and lack of intimacy coordinator – the two of them begin to become attracted to one another - and all of a sudden, find themselves unable to perform the show.

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.

Two 17-year-old dudes, MIKEY (17) & STEVE (also 17, duh), are on their way to Mikey’s name change procedure in rural California. But when these dudes get a little too high while driving, one of them gets distracted and accidentally runs over a cop! What are these dudes going to do?!
