After four young Texans come into some money, Mike, Natalie, Eduardo, and Phil pack into a '63 Chrysler New Yorker and embark upon a spontaneous road trip across the Lone Star state. Gliding down the highways, stereo blasting through the heat, they rediscover the blacktop magic of sheer distance and speed. An emerging love triangle, ethnic ambiguity, and bourbon-fueled mishaps unfurl across the screen as they run from cops, dance in conjunto bars, and frolic in desolate waterfalls.
