Quarries

Synopsis: To escape her abusive boyfriend, Kat joins a wilderness expedition with a group of women, all of whom are struggling with the uncertainty of life. What was supposed to be an opportunity for personal discovery quickly becomes a fight for survival, forcing each one to discover the strength within themselves that they didn't even know they possessed. While being brazenly chased by a pack of predators, the strong quickly set themselves apart from the weak. In a battle of will, stamina, and heart, these very virtues present themselves at the most crucial moment. With death looming, each is left with what is truly important - the strength within oneself.

Looking at myself,

getting my angles and stuff.

What are you doing?

I'm taking mad selfies,

bro, taking mad selfies.

I think you've got a problem.

I've never seen someone

take so many selfies before.

Dude, have you ever

seen my following before?

It is insane.

- No, I haven't.

I have... well,

it's not insane.

I have a huge gay following.

It is.

I want to make them happy so...

Is that why you're

wearing the pink pants?

- Coral pants.

- Coral?

Coral pants.

Yeah, whatever you say, man.

Look, uh, you could be taking

dick pictures for all I care.

Just, uh, make sure

you're tagging the trees.

Dude, I am tagging the

sh*t out of these trees.

Look.

Look.

Nice.

- Both sides?

- Yeah.

- Really?

- I haven't been.

I completely forgot.

It was just one of these things.

I... I tagged...

You begged me to come out here.

I completely forgot.

I know.

It's only two simple jobs.

Yeah, they were not... they

weren't all that simple.

Tag the trees and check the GPS?

And I've been doing that

all the time, I swear to god.

Let me see here.

I mean, dude, constantly...

Let me see that, man.

Sorry.

We've only got three miles

left to the site, anyways.

Let's just keep moving

before it gets dark.

Sure.

Dude.

This looks like a

good a landmark as any.

Tagged, bro.

Dude, I am so tired.

Dude, imagine living out here.

It's beautiful, right?

No, it sucks ass.

I hate it.

I hate this place.

What is the most f***ed

up place you've ever shot?

Abandoned subway

station in New York,

the place just felt like it

was coming down on top of you.

And there was a ton

of homeless people

in there, stirring sh*t around.

- Homeless people?

Dude, I hate homeless people.

You probably don't even

know how to sh*t in the woods,

do you?

I have no idea how

to sh*t in the woods.

I've never been here before.

All right.

On the

north side of the canyon...

Nervous?

The smoke is just

smothering the mountains there.

It's like a, uh...

Jesus, I hope this

doesn't impact the trip.

A really bad version of the air

we saw in the Sacramento...

Can you turn that off?

Did you break in your boots?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

You're gonna get

blisters if you didn't.

I know.

Just... just tell them

you were late because of me.

Tell them we got a flat.

No, I'm not gonna lie.

Just can't stand that

fresh air, can you?

Relax.

It'll be my last

one for a while.

What if they turn you

away for being late?

They won't.

They won't.

Well, um, you'll

come stay with me

and Bridget when you get back.

Thank you.

But you've got to

promise me one thing.

You don't ever talk to that

piece of sh*t, ever again.

You cut him out, for good.

I know.

OK.

This is gonna make you regret

smoking all those butts.

I got it.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Jesus.

You want me to hang

around for a minute?

No.

It's, uh... I'll be fine.

I'll be fine.

It's gonna be OK.

I think this is gonna be

really good for you, Kat.

I love you.

Just take some time.

F***ing thing.

This is a very aggressive fire.

What's so striking

to me... and I've

been through over quite a

few fires this summer... uh,

is how expansive the...

The burning areas are.

It's not like one

concentrated area.

It is really spread out

up and down the canyon.

Uh, we could see some

spotting going on.

How can they call

this a touch screen?

Do you want new

school, or old school?

Old school.

Tough, you're gonna get both.

All right, just put

a pin in the GPS.

Hello.

Solar charger will

take it from there, OK?

You know I have no idea

what that means, right?

That's encouraging.

Um, what's the verdict?

Uh, the closure has put us

about 100 miles off course.

It has now

grown to 15 square miles.

It's threatening

about 2,500 structures

and forced one local school

district to cancel classes.

A forest fire broke

out late last night...

So we go north.

Yeah, or we could postpone.

The checks have been cashed, and

schedules have been cleared.

And we have those permits.

So I was thinking that, um, if

you drop us right around here,

then we can travel around

these ridges, which

will put us up on the trail, and

end up at our destination here.

You OK going somewhere

you haven't gone before?

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, we'll

get to our destination.

And we won't compromise

too many miles.

Um, I guess, just let the others

know then because they're

gonna love surprises.

We don't have a choice, do we?

Right.

I'll get that.

Found our sixth member.

Hi.

I'm, um, I'm Kat.

Yeah, I know who you are.

You're late.

Is there a reason?

Yeah, my... my

brother drove me.

We ended up getting

this flat tire.

Then there was no

cell phone service.

Which tire?

The left one...

The front, left one.

Right, and he

left, your brother?

Mhm.

So now I'm...

I'm stuck with you.

I'm really sorry.

Right.

Let's meet everyone else.

So basically, uh, everyone

else has been staying

down at the lower cabin.

We leave in about 10 minutes.

Uh, is there any chance

I could get a shower in?

Doubtful, we've

spent the last two days

learning to get

to know each other

and how to survive

in the wilderness.

So you, my friend, are going

to have your work cut out

for you for the next few days.

Um, you do realize

that your toes

are going to be in hiking boots

for the next two weeks, right?

Yeah, I know.

OK, this is Katharine.
