Synopsis/Details
When Ethan sets out alone on a cross-country road trip, armed with nothing but a self-made plan and two lawn chairs, he doesn’t expect Molly—an outspoken Australian drifter with emotional layers buried beneath her sarcasm and cowboy hat—to hijack his solitude. Together, they spiral through truck stop brawls, firework mishaps, accidental armed robbery, and increasingly raw confessions. As the news of an asteroid looms in the background, time begins to compress—and choices take on deeper weight. Through dreamcatchers, burnt backseats, and a child named Nate, Ethan and Molly redefine what it means to connect. Their destination shifts from literal to emotional—and in the end, two chairs on Flat Top Mountain become a symbol of everything they’ve fought for. This is not a survival film. It’s about learning to sit still with someone at the edge of everything.
