Life is what happens when you are making other plans.
Wendy (Michelle Williams) and Lucy, her dog, are traveling to Alaska in a beater, washing in gas station bathrooms and sleeping in her car. She gets caught shoplifting by an overzealous employee and loses Lucy. Now she is stuck in Oregon and her dog is gone.
We see the hopelessness in Wendy's face. She is is stranded and alone, and even her sister thinks she wants something when she calls to connect with family.
Her time is spent searching for Lucy. She sleeps in the woods, and is scared out of her mind by a passing mental case. The only help she gets is from an old man who watches the Walgreen's parking lot 12 hours a day.
She finds Lucy, but her car is totaled, so she has to so what so many are forced to do these days. Life beats down the lowest so they have to make the hard choices. Williams gave a performance that characterized all those on the bottom who struggle daily just to survive.
It is a touching story that shows those on the margin.
