It's a modern day tale of reality and the ability to change. A dark comedy, visually exploding with images that will haunt us and confront our own fears. At first we meet Sam and Eileen. Sam is quick-tempered, set in his path. He is the audience, but we will empathize with Eileen, our protagonist. She wants more out of the reality in which she finds herself. The film is uplifting in that she learns, and so do we, that change is possible, even though in the end, it's not quite how she imagined it.

The tale begins in the empty expanse of the desert. Sam and Eileen are thrown into our view. We see the sometimes humorous, but edgy games they play with each other. Making up stories of "what if." Eileen says to Sam, "What if you took my clothes and left me here?" She goes on to say-- a man would find her, take care of her, bring her a blanket, and really listen to what she has to say. Sam thinks the story is total bullshit and tells her his version of what would happen to her.

They are on a journey, but we do not know where. We catch glimpses of where they came from, but we are not sure if they are telling the truth. Eileen wants to stop for the day, but Sam wants to keep moving. He threatens to leave her in bum fuck wherever they are. She ignores him.

The next morning she wakes up by herself and naked. Pissed off, she hurries off to find him.

Driving at top speed, bumping through the desert, we meet Clide and Billy. Clide is blind; a crippled visionary full of guts and vinegar. Billy, his sidekick is the kid, twenty-something. We come to understand their relationship. Billy, as Eileen, wants more. He's very naïve of how this world works. He's a virgin, full of hormones with no place to go.

Billy happens upon naked Eileen. They have a funny scene about sex and death. Billy brings her back to Clide, who immediately has a sense of foreboding about this new visitor. Billy wants to keep her around. Clide wants to kill her. Clide bungles an attempt on Eileen's life, falling on his own knife. At that same moment Sam appears, pushing Billy into view. Sam beats the shit out of Billy, though not killing him, thanks to Eileen. Eileen and Sam steal whatever they want and leave Clide to die in Billy's arms.

We're back where we started - Sam and Eileen walking in the desert. This time Eileen is different. She has a new passion for change and understands that it's possible. Sam rapes her into submission.

It's night. Eileen sneaks off, taking everything from Sam, even his clothes. She goes back to Billy's campsite. Billy has buried Clide and bandaged himself up. Eileen tries to tell him how sorry she is, but he can't hear her. He's deaf from Sam's beating. She cradles him in her arms, rocking him back and forth, as she tells him a story - They will raise a family, a boy and girl, one of each.

Sam wakes up and screams at the world. He tells us, nothing ever changes. You're always back where you started. He does not say, square one, but the inference is made. He tells us she'll be back. But we know she won't.
