Stray Dogs

Synopsis

Three teenagers—a disillusioned athlete, a cautious realist, and a dreamer seeking agency—embark on a reckless journey to escape their hometown. The outside world believes they are runaways chasing freedom, but the reality is far more dark. They are nothing but three fractured souls fleeing from vastly different lives.

To Calix, the flight is a desperate chance to be able to be who he truly is without the pressure of his high-achieving parents weighing him down.

For Maeve, it is a fight for safety, an escape from a father whose grief has curdled into a singular hatred for her.

And for Victoria, it is a quiet, dangerous act of loyalty, betraying the safety and stability her two friends lack. It is a choice to abandon a life she loves so she doesn’t have to watch her friends face the world alone.
