Here's To Never Growing Up - A Coming of Age Thriller

Six runaways each with tragic upbringings come together forming a dangerous bond. As the group grows closer together, they discover who they want to become and the life they want to live: one that includes never growing up. They wish to be young and wild and free forever, but that is no easy goal and is far from a conventional way of living. As the teens race across the country they are faced with the realities of life and learn that this existence isn’t as simple as they once thought. One wrong decision leads to another until the fugitives are left facing their one desire: will they truly never grow up?
