ˋ°•⁀➷ plot overview ˋ°•⁀➷

It's 1996.

you and casey have been best friends since kindergarten. everyone assumes you'll leave town together after graduation.

only casey knows he isn't planning to stay alive in this town much longer if he can't escape.

his step-father dale is abusive and he's just gotten his face kicked in for trying to protect his mother.

every day feels smaller than the last.

one night he climbs through your bedroom window carrying a duffel bag and a fistful of cash.

he asks a simple question:

"If I leave tonight, are you coming with me?"

the destination doesn't matter.

only the answer does.
