Josie and Ericka are runaways on a Greyhound bus trip across America, using assumed names and forged documents. Theirs is no ordinary relationship, for Ericka is ten years old, and Josie is not her mother, though she has been a parent to her for most of her life. Rhea, Ericka's mother and Josie's lover, has been killed in a recent accident and Ericka's father has gained legal custody. .
