The morning after an eventful high-school party, two distant sisters find themselves trapped together on the drive back home. On one side, Jessica is glad to leave her reality behind for the sake of a new cause and a chance to build a bridge. On the other side, Regan struggles to make sense of her night and uncover the agenda behind her sister’s new interest in connecting.  
 
As confessions, callouts and questions around consent come into play, the ride turns rocky and the political and personal intertwine. A Canyon Contained, directed by Naomi McGowan is a story of two young women learning how to trust one another and be vulnerable enough to extend and receive offers of care.
