Four women drive from New York City to San Francisco, each packing a little more baggage than she thought. There’s Jackie Alvarado, the feisty Afro-Latina tomboy from the Bronx who is in charge, in love and in denial; Carmen “Hazel” Flores, the lipstick lesbian with one foot out of the closet and a secret crush on one of her friends; Lourdes Becerra, the rich girl turned rabble rouser who will march far and long for a women’s right to choose and the perfect handbag; and Irena Rodriguez, the volunteer counselor who never met a New Age philosophy or occult science she didn’t buy.
