Margaret Qualley is on a road trip to remember in her latest movie.

On Thursday, Focus Features released the trailer for its new movie Drive-Away Dolls, which stars Qualley, 29, as a woman named Jamie who rents a car with her friend Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) to drive to Tallahassee, Florida.

Unfortunately for the two friends, they accidentally grow embroiled in a group of criminals' plot to transport an important case with an unidentified package inside after the car they rent turns out to have the mysterious item in its trunk.

After Jamie and Marian discover the package, a band of criminals led by Colman Domingo's character — who appear to work for Matt Damon — begin to chase the pair down. Fortunately, they seem to find an ally in a police officer (Beanie Feldstein) who they meet along the way as the chase devolves into a cat-and-mouse game.

An official synopsis for the movie describes it as a "comedy caper" that features "Jamie, an uninhibited free spirit bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend, and her demure friend Marian who desperately needs to loosen up."

"In search of a fresh start, the two embark on an impromptu road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals along the way," the synopsis reads.
