Fran, an unemployed slacker, and best friend The Lord of Evil and darkness are two lost souls on a road trip through the Southern California desert. Along the way they pick up a hitchhiker, who claims to be an Alien from the planet Zoltran. This unlikely trio then encounters Stoners, Strippers, Knights of the'square'-table, an effeminate drug thug, the 'Vortex of Destiny', and a master plan to take over the world via American Idol. Oh yeah, and there's a fish tank.
