A punk-rock anarchic comedy that subverts Western and crime genres through absurdist humor and surreal desert-town logic.

A gang of bank robbers with a suitcase full of money go to the desert to hide out. After burying the loot, they find their way to a surreal town full of cowboys who drink an awful lot of coffee.
