Synopsis

A journalist and his attorney travel to Las Vegas for a motorcycle race, but their assignment quickly devolves into a drug-fueled odyssey through the American Dream. They navigate a surreal landscape of casinos, conventions, and desert highways, blurring the lines between reality and hallucination. This wild journey becomes a commentary on the decline of the 1960s counterculture.
