PlotA teenage delinquent, White Girl, with a history of street hustling and petty crime, finds herself sentenced to a juvenile facility where she meets a psychotic fellow inmate, Cyclona. White Girl, serving time for a long string of offenses that have marked her troubled youth, is streetwise and hardened, while Cyclona is unpredictably dangerous, harboring a volatile mix of childhood trauma and aggression. Despite this, they form an unlikely friendship based on their shared sense of marginalization and their yearning for freedom from the confines of their oppressive circumstances.
When Cyclona devises a plan to escape, she ropes in White Girl, and together they break out. On the run from the law, their journey becomes a wild chase for liberation, taking them through the underbelly of Mexico. As they descend deeper into a life of crime and encounter a twisted maternal figure in Sister Gomez, who has her own nefarious plans, the duo's bond is tested. Faced with their traumatic pasts and lured by the promise of a fresh start, they must navigate the treacherous path ahead while grappling with the consequences of their actions and the reality that freedom often comes at a steep price.
