'Taryn, Bella and Charlee hate school. To them it's a noisy hole on the highway with moron teachers and loser kids, and they are determined to get away as fast as they can. But it's a long time till they finish school and waiting is deadly. At least when the bell finally rings at the end of each day, they can escape through the hole in the fence and hang out at the truck stop.
