A down to earth comedy

Comedy

David and Linda Howard are successful yuppies from LA. When he gets a job disappointment, David convinces Linda that they should quit their jobs, liquidate their assets, and emulate the movie Easy Rider, spending the rest of their lives traveling around America...in a Winnebago.

VIBE

A frantic, darkly funny spiral into yuppie desperation. It captures the anxious absurdity of chasing freedom and fortune, only to find yourself lost on the open road. A wild, cynical ride that questions the American Dream.
