A melancholic character study of longing and mismatch, exploring desire across sexual identity and the pain of unrequited connection.

The petite waitress Johnny works and lives in a truck-stop, where she's lonely and longs for love. She develops a crush on the garbage truck driver Krassky, although her sleazy boss Boris warns her that he's gay.
