Overview

Jumpstart follows 26-year-old Virginia ‘Billie’ Walton as she chokes on a healthy dose of reality. Trading her mother’s opulent lifestyle for a beaten-up Toyota, Billie hits the road with nothing but her car, cigarettes, and absolutely zero life skills. But when basin-bathing at gas stations loses its charm, Billie has to face her worst nightmare - finding a job. Armed with nothing but her silver tongue, can Billie talk her way into employment before her luck runs out?
