In Beach Glass, players follow Bea, a young woman in her 20s, stuck in the monotony of her everyday life. Feeling trapped and craving something more, she makes the bold decision to leave it all behind and embark on a spontaneous road trip across Canada. Along the way, Bea encounters Hart, a mysterious woman with her own set of secrets and unresolved issues. As the two women travel together, they begin to confront the deeper realities of their lives and grapple with the question of whether they can escape their pasts and find new futures.
In the first episode, Runaway, Part One, Bea hits the road, leaving behind her predictable life. She meets Kat, her coworker, who represents the life Bea is trying to escape, and Hart, a wild card who could be the catalyst for change—or danger. The journey will push both women to confront their demons, forge new connections, and figure out if true freedom is something they can attain or if they will be forever bound by their pasts.
