Earthly Possessions

Housewife Charlotte Emory lives a quiet, comfortable existence in Clarion,
Maryland. She has always championed living life as simply as possible, casting off
material things and celebrating the bare essentials. On an unremarkable rainy day,
she decides to simplify her life in a very major way and leave her husband. But
before she goes through with her plan, she runs to the bank, a harmless errand
that throws her simple life and decision into disarray. At the bank, a restless
young man—an escaped convict and former demolition derby driver—takes her
hostage during a robbery. Soon this unlikely pair are on the road and heading
south into an unknown future, and a most unexpected fate.
