Paul Tracy, a dedicated college student, dreams of following in the footsteps of Senator Kitteridge. He hopes to gain the Senator's endorsement to further his own political ambitions, setting the stage for the challenges ahead.

In a twist of fate, Paul is tasked with escorting Senator Kitteridge's rebellious daughter, Robin, to a rehabilitation center. This unexpected responsibility transforms into a journey that will test his resolve and moral compass.

Paul, along with his roommate T.S., sets off on the road to the rehabilitation center with a nearly drugged Robin in the backseat. The atmosphere is tense as they navigate the challenges of their share of duties versus personal emotions.

As their trip continues, the medication fog begins to lift from Robin, revealing her rebellious nature. Motivated by a newfound clarity, she starts plotting her escape, seeing a glimmer of hope in her situation.

Amidst the chaos, Paul and Robin develop a deep emotional bond. Their connection grows as Paul listens to Robin's alarming allegations about her father's abuse, challenging his understanding of loyalty and family.

During their journey, Paul and T.S. meet Missy Butler, a charming Southern girl who has feelings for T.S. This encounter injects some levity into an otherwise tumultuous trip and adds complexity to the group dynamics.

After Robin's failed escape attempt, Paul and his friends make a detour to find Robin's estranged mother, Blanche. They hope she can provide a refuge for Robin, who desperately needs help escaping her father's grasp.

Upon finding Blanche, the crew is met with disappointment as she reveals her fears of Senator Kitteridge's wrath. Her refusal to help highlights the dangers surrounding Robin and the immense control her father holds.

With no options remaining, Paul must take Robin back to the rehabilitation facility, where she faces cruel treatment. This heartbreaking decision weighs heavily on Paul as he grapples with his feelings for Robin and her plight.

Determined to save Robin from her dire situation, Paul devises a daring escape plan. The tension escalates as he sneaks back into the facility, motivated by love and loyalty to Robin.

Blanche arrives at the facility, desperate to see her daughter. Her presence becomes a pivotal moment as she confronts the institution's security, reflecting the fierceness of a mother’s love amidst the chaos.

In a dramatic showdown, Blanche stands her ground against Senator Kitteridge, revealing evidence that could damage his reputation. This confrontation escalates to a physical clash, shattering the remaining barriers between them.

As tension reaches a boiling point, other girls in the facility seize the opportunity to flee. A chaotic exodus ensues, highlighting a collective yearning for freedom as the guards find themselves overwhelmed.

With a renewed spirit and hope, Paul, Robin, T.S., Missy, and Blanche hit the road together. They leave behind the chains of their troubled pasts, embarking on a journey towards a brighter future.
