Marie and Michelle are trying to escape from a mental institution. Michelle is a tough girl who can survive on the road, but Marie is extremely shy and relies on Michelle for support until Michelle gives in and promises to help her out. The two soon get into trouble and their friendship is put to the test.
One day, Rollins' lost movie comes out, and it's so bad that no distributor will buy it. The director blames this mostly on the scriptwriter. The producer had hired someone to keep the director from continuing with his usual vampire mystery stuff, but such co-operation against each other didn't work out.
However, "The Escapees" has enough magic moments to be worth watching. Especially when people stop talking like in the ending or when Marie skates on the ice imagining she is admired by a crowd, but only Michelle is secretly watching her.
