Blake Lively and Chloe Grace Moretz in Hick

This coming of age story centers on 13-year-old Luli McMullen, who runs away from her ramshackle Nebraska home after being abandoned by her deadbeat parents and heads to Las Vegas. Along the way, she learns the truth about American rootlessness and discovers both the power and peril of her own sexual curiosity. Luli crosses paths with Eddie, an unstable rebel with questionable motives and Glenda, a cocaine snorting drifter on the run. Adapted from the critically acclaimed novel by Andrea Portes, this powerful story pulls you into provocative world of drugs, seduction, and murder.

The film stars Chloe Moretz ("Hugo", "Dark Shadows"), who encounters a seedy cast of characters – a sociopathic cowboy drifter played by Eddie Redmayne ("My Week with Marilyn") and a surrogate mother of sorts played by Blake Lively ("The Town", "Green Lantern"), a cocaine-snorting drifter.

The film is based on Andrea Portes' novel by the same name about the hard life of an abandoned 13-year-old Nebraska girl as she hitchhikes to Las Vegas. Portes wrote and served as executive producer for the film.
