“no beginning... no end... no speed limit...”

Drama

A driver and mechanic drag racing for money cross paths with a female hitchhiker and a drifter who challenges them to a cross-country race.

VIBE

A stark, existential road trip where the open highway offers no solace. The hum of the engine is a constant, lonely companion. It's a film about searching for meaning in motion, but finding only the void.
