A wry, character-driven comedy about two working-class men isolated in rural Texas, where mundane labor and interpersonal friction become a lens for examining longing, disconnection, and the gap between expectation and reality.
Two highway road workers spend the summer of 1988 away from their city lives. The isolated landscape becomes a place of misadventure as the men find themselves at odds with each other and the women they left behind.
