After a few years of trying to make a name for herself in the city, Mandy returns to the trailer park where she grew up. Upon her arrival, she reunites with her best friend Mel and it's clear the two have a very meaningful friendship, verging on more. When Daisy, Mel's religious, conservative mother, catches the girls fooling around, she freaks out and accuses Mandy of corrupting her innocent daughter. Mandy decides to leave the trailer park for the sake of her best friend's future, but when she hitches a ride into town with Dale, Mel's absent, deadbeat father, she concocts a plan to spring her friend from their dead-end hometown for good.
