Storyline
When Bobby's car breaks down in the desert while on the run from some of the bookies who have already taken two of his fingers, he becomes trapped in the nearby small town where the people are stranger than anyone he's encountered. After becoming involved with a (unbeknownst to him) young married woman, her husband hires Bobby to kill her. Later, she hires Bobby to kill the husband. Written by Jason Ihle <jrihl@conncoll.edu>

Trivia
Towards the beginning, we briefly see a sign that reads "Rutowski for council." It's a reference to co-producer Richard Rutowski, who also briefly appears as "Biker #2" around that same moment. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: Not only is there a visible line attached to the vulture's leg in one scene, this vulture and all vultures shown in the movie are of a species that does not exist in the United States. See more »Quotes
