Teenage lovers Jordan White (Duval) and Amy Blue (McGowan) pick up a handsome drifter named Xavier Red (Schaech) while driving home from a club. Jordan gives Xavier the nickname “X”. A late-night stop at a convenience store leaves the three on the run when X accidentally kills the store’s owner (Dustin Nguyen). The trio hides in a motel to avoid arrest. While Jordan and Amy have sex in the bath tub, X learns from the local television news program that the store owner’s wife (Margaret Cho) disemboweled her children with a machete before committing suicide, thus, he concludes, removing any possibility of the trio’s being caught by the police.

Later that evening, Amy has sex with X, even though they do not get along. Eventually Jordan finds out, and things become tense as the two men develop a lingering sexual attraction for one another. As the trio journeys across small-town USA, they continue to get into violent situations due to people either claiming to be Amy’s previous lovers or mistaking her for such. The FBI has a meeting where they declare they will find Amy and kill her (the exact same sentiment is voiced by several other parties in the film).

Jordan, Amy, and X spend the night in an abandoned barn, where they engage in a threesome. While Amy goes to urinate, Jordan and X are attacked by a trio of Neo-Nazis, one of whom had previously mistaken Amy as his ex-girlfriend “Bambi”. The gang proceeds to beat up X and then hold Jordan down as the aforementioned Neo-Nazi ties up and rapes Amy on top of an American flag. The group finally castrates Jordan with pruning shears and feeds him his genitals. After Amy breaks free, she kills the Neo-Nazis with the shears and escapes with X, leaving Jordan for dead. The film ends with Amy and X driving aimlessly on the road. X is eating Doritos and offers Amy some, but receives no response. Amy simply smokes a cigarette and continues driving as the film fades to the end credits. Read more
