When Alexis is laid off from her job in New York City, she impulsively decides to reboot her life by moving to the cultural boomtown of Austin, Texas. She responds to a "roommate wanted" ad, quickly lines up a place to live, and is eager to commence the next chapter in her life.

But when she arrives — amid one of Austin's famous citywide music festivals — her roommate, Brenda, is nowhere to be found. And Alexis embarks on a search for a woman she's never met that takes her beneath Austin's sunny surface into the neon labyrinth of its music scene. The farther she follows Brenda's trail, the harder it gets for her to know who to trust — or whether she can trust anyone at all.

Alexis travels down the rabbit hole from the sunshine-daydream veneer of Austin into bars and clubs filled with shady characters who put a sinister twist on the motto "Keep Austin Weird." It's a trip that will keep you guessing until the last frame.
