Roughly 17 years ago, they made a pact that if one of them texted the word 'RUN' and the other replied with the same, they would both drop everything to go travelling across America.

One day, the fateful message arrives in Ruby's inbox, sparking a daring and spontaneous adventure that starts in Grand Central Station.
