She drinks. He drives. Together it's the trip of a lifetime. A coming of age story about Ben (Grint) an awkward and shy teenage boy trying to escape from the influence of his domineering devotedly Christian mother Laura (Linney). His world changes when he begins working as an assistant to retired, second-rate, alcoholic actress Evie (Walters). Much to his mother's displeasure, Ben and Evie go camping together, and he's later tricked into driving her to Edinburgh for a poetry reading - convincing him by pretending that she's near death.
