Amelia stands beside a highway in the Australin desert, alone except for her dog, Lucy, and the occasional road train that speeds past her raised thumb.
 
A raw exploration of consent and its ambiguities, personal agency and the choices we make, Hitch is the story of twenty-something Amelia hitchhiking from one end of the country to the other, trying to outrun grief and trauma, and moving ever closer to the things she longs to escape.
 
After her mother's funeral, Amelia is confronted by Zach and reminded of the relationship they had when she was a teenager. She feels complicit and remains unable to process what happened. So she runs. Her best friend, Sid, is Zach's cousin and the one person in the world she can depend upon.
 
But the road isn't safe either. Amelia is looking for generosity of human connection in the drivers she finds lifts with, and she does receive that. But she is also let down.
