Eve, a 9-year-old hardened by time as a neglected foster child, is accustomed to taking life seriously, so when she meets Dave, a drunk thirtysomething who forgot to grow up, she sees an opportunity. 'Liars, Fires, and Bears' finds these two on an unlikely cross-country road trip after Eve hatches a plan to reunite with her brother and laid-back Dave suddenly finds himself on the run from both the cops and the robbers. With a precocious tot behind the wheel and an immature man-child navigating, Eve and Dave might find that the quickest route to their destination is through each other.
