Emmy-nominees Awkwafina and Sandra Oh lead this road comedy as estranged sisters united by an oddly specific goal: solve their mother's debt by winning a quiz show. Directed by Oscar-winner Jessica Yu (13 Reasons Why).
A brilliant but tightly wound, gameshow-obsessed young woman, Anne (Awkwafina), and her estranged, train-wreck of a sister Jenny (Oh), must work together to help cover their mother’s gambling debts. When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped, they set out on a wild, cross-country trek to get the cash the only way they know how: by turning Anne into a bona-fide gameshow champion.
