Synopsis
WANDER WOMEN starts with anxious Hannah and wide-eyed Eve in the back of a cop car. The girls have just been rescued from an isolated doomsday cult. The cop stops at a gas station, where the girls discover an auspicious magazine ad for "Kingdom of Fun": a promising sanctuary, the Happiest Place On Earth. When briefly left alone, the girls bolt out of the store, and are offered a ride by a group of troublesome stoners. This favor comes to an end quickly when Hannah and Eve’s hot dog nausea takes over, vomiting all over the car.
Ditched by the boys, Hannah and Eve are left on their own and covered in filth. They spot a Good Will across the street showcasing the hottest outfits Hannah and Eve have never seen before. Hopelessly curious, the girls head inside. In the store, Hannah and Eve expand their understanding of the modern world with every new experience and relationship. This is the first time they openly explore their femininity. It’s heaven, until someone knocks over a mysterious pile of clothing and out falls a bag, and inside: a gun.
Bad news. With a robber holding everyone at gunpoint, Hannah and Eve decide to let their confidence roar. Our buddy hero’s battle the robber, who quickly gets the upper hand – until BOOM…an accident. Now with blood on their hands, literally, the girls flee the scene and book it to The Happiest Place On Earth.
