A darkly comedic road movie that uses rock-and-roll culture, corpses, and drug smuggling as the backdrop for a quirky buddy adventure with satirical edge.

A naive Canadian barber who knows US popular culture inside and out meets a flamboyant roadie who needs someone to drive her and her "brother's" corpse from Thunder Bay, Ontario to New Orleans. Chaos ensues after the barber agrees to drive her, the corpse, and the drugs stashed within all the way.
