Avery lives in La La Land with a boyfriend who's totally loaded. Their bond is made strong by a passion for escapism. He pops pills and inhales cocaine, teetering between manic and despondent. She numbs her pain with Mary Jane and exorcisms that combine vodka and razor blades. When her deviance becomes more than her man can handle, he boots her out of his mansion and revokes her ticket to ride out life in oblivion. So she bungees a box of Fed Ex'd memories from her mom to her motorbike, stuffs her cats in a knapsack, and turns her back on the days of dizzy living. With the pain of the lush life lodged in her veins, and ruminations from the box, Avery sets out on a path to calm the "lightning" in her wires - a journey that's about learning from her mistakes, and learning how to accept herself entirely - one that will ultimately change her life forever. Lightning in my Wires, explores a young woman's effort to change her perception, on a trek that doesn't take a trip around the world.
