Synopsis

They pulled off the heist, but now Monk has to lay low. So he hands off the bag full of money to Alma and tells her to head west. She’s supposed to get in touch with Gramma, and turn the bag over to him. But Alma knows the cops are going to stop her along the way, so she picks up a young hitchhiker to act as a cover. And then the rendezvous with Gramma turns sour. Bill is on his way to California. The last thing he expects is to be picked up by a pretty single woman. But when she offers to give him a ride all the way to Sacramento, he figures his luck has turned. Alma is a little older than she is, but she seems to like his company. How could he know that he is now on the run with her from both the cops and Gramma’s gang... and Monk.
