What happens

Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby is a 1999 black comedy crime thriller film written and directed by Matthew Bright. The sequel to Freeway (1996), it stars Natasha Lyonne as Crystal "White Girl" Van Meter and MarĂ­a Celedonio as Angela "Cyclona" Garcia. While the first film was partly inspired by "Little Red Riding Hood", the second film is somewhat based on "Hansel and Gretel". It was an international co-production between the United States and Mexico. In the film, 15-year-old prostitute White Girl is imprisoned for robbing her customers. She escapes from a minimal-security hospital, alongside 16-year-old serial killer Cyclona. Cyclona promises that her new partner (and love interest) White Girl can get medical help by Cyclona's former caretaker Sister Gomez. Sister Gomez turns out to be a witch, cult leader, cannibal and child pornographer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
