On a cold night in the Midwest, a black man and a black woman have a forgettable first date. As the two drive home, a police officer pulls them over for a minor traffic violation. The situation quickly escalates and tragically one of them kills the police officer in self-defense. Fearing for their lives, the duo are forced to go on the run. Police-cam footage of the incident goes viral and the fugitives inadvertently become figures of trauma, grief and humanity as they drive across the country. (AFI Fest)
