Jenny, a mom living in Los Angeles with her husband and three kids is filled with Mommy Angst. She is off to a blogger conference in Vegas to jumpstart her life after kids career. Calling a rideshare to the airport, she accidentally chooses "pool' and soon finds herself in a car full of strangers that includes: Kara, a struggling actress feminist; Sean, a tightly wound, heartbroken talent agent; and, Marc, their driver, a hipster anarchist shaman. As the journey begins, these very different personalities clash. Each wonders if hell truly is other people, and if they can survive the ride together. However, over the course of the trip, each begins to peel away the layers of the onion that is their lives, share vulnerabilities and bond over the challenges of coming of age in today's world. Full of humor, heart, pathos and a psilocybin drug trip in Death Valley, unexpected connections are forged as each finds their own personal Paradise.
