Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Sammie attends a welfare-sponsored after-school Jesus Camp while her pill-popping, alcoholic mother Marlene goes on crime sprees.

When Sammie's father fails to show up after his release, Marlene's desperate mission to find someone who loves her sends her into a downward spiral. Mother and daughters' shared fascination with death, the dire situation, and one last high-risk con leads to a roller coaster night as Sammie takes matters into her own hands to help Marlene find freedom...and ultimately free herself.
