LEAVING THE STATION, OUT AUGUST 19, 2025

Nina LaCour meets Alyson Derrick in this cross-country journey of identity, love, and friendships as Zoe tries to figure out her life, one train stop at a time.

Zoe’s life has gone off the rails.

She banked on college being a fresh start, but instead, she’s leaving for fall break with zero friends and an ex-boyfriend, the latter being a real shock considering she’s a lesbian.

On a cross-country train home, Zoe meets Oakley, who is also running away from her mistakes, and Zoe starts to wonder if they just might be able to help each other along before that train finally leaves the station.
