Overview

Teacher Kelly Busch never thought it would come to this. It all started with embezzling from her school under the guidance of vice principal Ellen Boone. Over time, their takes got bigger and their Thelma-and-Louise partnership blossomed into a Bonnie-and-Clyde affair. But when the new principal looks into the school's messy finances, it forces the their hand. Will Kelly stay in her simple, suburban life with her husband Scott or pursue an exotic life on the lam with Ellen?
