Seventeen-year-old Veronica Clarke would never have thought that holding a piece of plastic in her hand, two pink strips would unfold in front of her. How did your friend get pregnant when they always used condoms? The girl preparing for a cool university is only separated from her successful future by this pregnancy. Veronica thus comes to the decision to terminate her pregnancy. There's just one huge problem. The closest place where a girl under eighteen can legally terminate her pregnancy is almost 1,500 kilometers away in New Mexico. Besides, Veronica doesn't have a car. In her desperation, she turns to the one person who won't judge her: Bailey Butler, who used to be Veronica's best friend and is now the weirdest character in high school. The plan is simple: they can reach the clinic in just fourteen hours, three hours for the intervention, and then fourteen hours home. What bad thing can happen during this time? The girls have three days of intense adventure with stolen cars, weapons, a crazy ex-boyfriend, excessively nice striptease dancers, ferrets, aliens and the crazy pitfalls of a long-broken friendship. Veronica soon has to put everything on the same page to undo the pain she caused herself. Under the endless starry skies of the American Southwest, Veronica and Bailey discover that the road to adulthood is bumpy, but it's so much better when you have a friend by your side to support you along the way.
