Three mismatched women--an African American lesbian (Whoopi Goldberg), an uptight AIDS sufferer (Mary Louise Parker), and a flirty young pot smoker (Drew Barrymore)--travel across the country together in this alternately funny and moving road dramedy. The women endure love and loss as they make a home for one another in Arizona and realize the strength and power of their friendship.
