199584 min6.5 / 10

A deliberately transgressive, surreal road movie that weaponizes shock and nihilism to explore alienation and transgression among three drifters in a hostile America.

Jordan White and Amy Blue, two troubled teens, pick up an adolescent drifter, Xavier Red. Together, the threesome embarks on a sex- and violence-filled journey through a United States of psychos and quickie marts.
