About this movie

HICK unfolds the journey, at once raw and mythical, of 13 year-old Luli McMullen (Chloe Grace Moretz, KICK-ASS), who sets out from her hard-luck, troublesome home in a fading Nebraska farm town for the glittering paradise of Las Vegas. Spurred by cinematic dreams and the hope for a "sugar daddy" who might finally save her, Luli finds herself on a perilous westward trek through a larger-than-life landscape of misfits, renegades and outsiders. She is quickly drawn to two contrasting drifters: Eddie (Eddie Redmayne, RED), a razor-tongued, baby-faced cowboy with a mysterious limp, and an alluring grifter named Glenda (Blake Lively, "Gossip Girl"). Snared in their unexpected paths, Luli's trip down the interstate becomes a defining odyssey - an encounter with heartbreak, absurdity and danger, but also with wonder, tenderness and the hard-won knowledge that just maybe she can save herself. 2011 BY HICK PICTURE COMPANY LLC
