Sam—a young woman living on permanent supplemental oxygen—rushes to catch the last bus to L.A. and be healed by a miracle-working televangelist. Leaving without saying goodbye to her sister, Sam makes it halfway when her tank starts leaking: a missing valve, nowhere to be found. With her last twenty bucks, Sam convinces a seedy ride-share driver to take her to an oxygen supply warehouse, where the owner tells her to go home. Abandoned by the seedy driver and armed with only half a twenty dollar bill, Sam runs on foot to the station, her sister desperately on her trail.
