What starts out as a routine assignment for an uptight, career-driven reporter and her cheery, inquisitive butch camerawoman quickly becomes a comedy of errors as the two find their direction in life. The odd couple, Kelly and Linda, pack up the car and hit the open road as market researchers videotaping various strangers answering hypothetical questions about allergies. In true comical fashion, their personalities clash when the ambitious but often-times bitter Kelly strives to work harder to fulfill her aspirations of being a news reporter, while carefree and content Linda is just passing time until she opens her tattoo parlor. The two find themselves spending the night at a hostel full of unusual characters, in the small town of Little Hope. Our duo fall into a series of comical situations as Little Hope’s annual chili cook-off quickly approaches. Director Erin Greenwell takes her audience on a ride through humorous misadventures jam-packed with snappy dialogue, sympathetic characters and laugh-out-loud scenarios true to classic buddy comedies -- with a lesbian twist!
