Synopsis

Meet Bennie and Clyde: a cute couple with a criminal record and a passion that will light up the stars.

When Bennie and Clyde meet at a warehouse party in the SolSys wastelands there's no escaping the gravitational pull between them. Bennie, a bored waiter at a diner, dreams of escaping his no-prospects existence for a more glamorous life - or at least seeing a real sunset for once. Clyde, a petty criminal, does what he can to survive. For better or worse, Bennie is pulled into Clyde's orbit and the two form a quick devotion to each other.

For Bennie that soon means waiting while Clyde serves a brutal and damaging prison sentence. On his release, Clyde wants only one thing (besides Bennie): revenge on the whole prison system. And with Clyde's charisma, of course Bennie joins him for the ride, soon discovering a thrilling new energy to his life as well as a band of misfits forming The Barrow Gang.

Can Bennie and Clyde's love survive the journey from outlaws to glamorous criminals to infamy? Can they survive the improbable odds of Clyde's dangerous Plan? Or will they go out in a blaze of glory?
