Dana Gottfried is a stressed-out Jewish lesbian who's just quit her job and wants to get home to see her grandmother. When her car breaks down in Indiana on Christmas Eve, Dana is stranded--until she's rescued by Charlie, a pig farmer who doesn't identify as male or female. Although they come from different worlds, Dana is intrigued by Charlie's sense of humor and kindness. Despite her better judgment, Dana says yes when Charlie offers a ride.

But the journey home is paved with detours. From car accidents to scheming exgirlfriends to a snowy and deserted Chicago Loop, everything that could go wrong on their road trip does, but it leads Dana on a path of self-discovery that just might end in love.
