About the project
Dimitri and Stella go on a road trip to Ann Arbor with Marla who they had just met. Along the way, a disagreement about the route arises. Finally, Marla consents to do Dimitri and Stella a favor — to drop them off in Detroit, but this puts her in a bitchy mood that spoils the rest of the trip.

Special "thank you" to Robert Steele.

If anyone ever suggests that I go on a road trip with Marla again, I'll grab a big rock smile politely and decline.
