Ruby Richardson (Merritt Wever) is tired of her suburban family life. She texts her college boyfriend Billy Johnson (Domhnall Gleeson) to RUN. It's a prepared plan from their school days that they would drop everything and runaway on a train together. Only they can't run away from their troubles.
It's a great elevator pitch but it needs to be more. After an intriguing opening, the show stalls for a few episodes. It's not until later that the show gets a second wind. It should really hit you with the second punch at the end of the pilot. These are two of my favorite actors and they struggle at first. This show has a slow start but it does find its footing eventually. It's canceled after a seven episode first season.
