Motivated by her late mother's diary, aspiring writer Erin spontaneously buys a bus ticket from Minnesota to Alabama, hoping to find her mom's literary inspiration, Harper Lee. The simple, well-told story focuses on the familiar themes of self-discovery and catharsis as Erin develops unlikely friendships during her two-day pilgrimage.
