Jimmy Biffman's life has just cratered. His wife dumps him for Dr. Dwayne the periodontist, he's downsized out of a job, and he's living in a trailer in his best friend Erica's backyard. So, when Erica hatches a wild scheme to recapture Jimmy's lost youth, he's powerless to resist. Runaways is the journey of two 40-somethings looking for a life they're convinced has passed them by. With a naïve belief in what's possible-and a foolish misunderstanding of the risks-they end up completely out of their element and in way over their heads. The unsavory predators who suck them into their world know exactly what they're doing-unlike Erica and Jimmy, who, like two giddy high-schoolers cutting class, have no idea what they're in for. Their new lives won't turn out remotely as they've planned...
