Kenny is an ice cream vendor in Chicago with a crisp white uniform and an apathetic heart. When he encounters Lolita, a sharp-tongued but despondent insurance actuary, their heated conversation, natural spark and mutual hopelessness lead to an unusual proposal for a meet-cute: to travel to San Francisco, where they will jump off the Golden Gate Bridge together.

A road trip with the most intentionally dour of endings is an unusual scenario in which two souls might bond, but they drop their guards-while encountering unexpected hitchhikers, accidentally saving lives, and revealing their personal demons-and the growing connection between them casts their endgame in a new light.
