Two elderly friends take a weekend camping trip to the panhandle of Oklahoma just to escape the everyday drudgery and boredom of their work. Stopping for breakfast in a small town in Northwest Oklahoma, they encounter a town bully that threatens them.
After the confrontation, they leave the cafe and try to regain their energy and excitement for the trip and not let this local bulldog of a person dampen their weekend they have planned for so long.
After driving for another two hours, they arrive at their destination that is isolated from the rest of the world, and they will be the only two camping in this area. While camping and enjoying themselves, they hear vehicles speeding toward them. Faintly, they can hear a siren. Running for cover, they hide in a deep gully covered with trees near the roadway.
As the cars speed by, two large suitcases are thrown from the front car with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol in pursuit not far behind. After the cars are out of sight, they retrieve both suitcases and open each one to discover a large sum of money and drugs.
Now the adventure starts as they plan to keep the money, but the drug cartel has other plans. The weekend turns into a week while trying to elude professional killers and a local town bully.
It seems necessary to move farther away from home and deeper into the panhandle to keep their families safe from the drug lords and town bully. Under extreme duress and fear for their lives, they slip into survival mode.
Immersed deep in the dirty business of drugs, they encounter some very cruel and deadly people. Each turn they make could cost their lives. Along the way, they also meet some good people that are willing to help them even at the risk of being killed themselves. This risky venture takes them into the panhandle of Oklahoma, the panhandle of Texas, and the northeast part of New Mexico.
