“Her life is no fairy tale.”
Following the arrest of her mother, Ramona, young Vanessa Lutz decides to go in search of her estranged grandmother. On the way, she is given a ride by school counselor Bob Wolverton.

Wounded but still very much alive, Bob pursues Lutz across the state in this modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.
