Beth
BETH, hitchhiking cross country on a lonely highway, is offered a much needed ride from SAM. Along the way Sam begins spinning an eerie tale of MIDNIGHT MARY and THE HITCHHIKER. The contempt of Midnight Mary's life being cut short still haunts the isolated roadway. However, Sam wants to add a new twist to the urban legend - the death of Beth.
Elizabeth
Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth maturely handles several distractions, among them: her mother's institutionalization because of mental instability; her father's female friend and his surgery; her grandfather's suicide; her lifeguarding job; her boyfriend.
