Grand Canyon is a dark comedy capturing a chaotic and unforgettable adventure between mother-daughter duo, Daphne and Clara. Clara spontaneously kidnaps Daphne for an unplanned road trip to the Grand Canyon to visit her ex-boyfriend, Scott Sherman. Along the way, they encounter a series of mishaps, including a run-in with a sheriff and a moment where Daphne is left to fend for herself on the side of the road. Their journey climaxes at a mysterious, endless pit—a metaphor for their inscrutable bond.
