Booney's living the dream, rolling down the highway towards something vaguely better in California, but something's off -- the strange, young hitchhiker he picks up is preoccupied with disjointed visions, the road seems to keep shifting, a sexy drive-in waitress is grimly pursuing them on roller skates, and worst of all, there's nowhere to get a beer.
Whatever he's running from, it's about to catch up.
