01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In southern Texas, Angela and Jessie are best friends and high school dropouts who spend their lives trying to have fun while working as waitresses and keeping an eye on each other. One day, Angela decides to surprise Jessie by purchasing a trip to Galveston, Texas so they can spend Jessie's birthday at the beach. She uses their rent money to pay for it and arranges for both of them to do extra hours at the restaurant to make up for the money they spent on the trip. However, Dustin, Jessie's goofy older brother and both girls roommate, spends his part of the rent in a failed drug sale he attempted with his friends. The next morning Tony, Dustin's friend, breaks in the house and steals an old TV because he thinks Dustin stole the drug's money. The police arrive to check the scene of the crime and discover Angela's and Jessie's stash of weed. Both girls are arrested.
