Thirteen-year-old Lane lives on a beautiful Northern California commune, wild and free, until her mother, a rebel and iconoclast, rejects the security and safety of the community land. They begin moving from one unlikely situation to another, leaving normal life far behind. Scrounging for food and hitchhiking while her mother cadges cash and begs favors, Lane struggles to keep her family together in an increasingly desolate and isolated emotional landscape.
