Plot

Murel, an Oklahoma mom, has had her ups and downs, but the one thing she knows for sure is that she is a good mother who wants nothing but the best for her child. Struggling with her own demons, Murel has been misused and abused her whole life, but after she learns that her 7-year-old son, Kipp, is being abused at the hands of his alcoholic father, she takes matters into her own hands by packing their bags and heading to California.

Once Kipp and Murel arrive at the home of her aunt Tess, they can breathe a sigh of relief. Tess and Murel have had a complicated relationship, but her aunt loves them and wants to help in any way she can. Soon, Kipp and Murel head out on a road trip, where they meet a slew of interesting and colorful characters that will impact their lives in some way.

Being a good mother who protects her son is one thing, but Murel is now a wanted fugitive since her husband contacted the police and reported Kipp missing. Still, she risks it all to provide a safe place for her son, while at the same time, wanting justice for them both.
