A mysterious young boy with nothing to lose (Jordan Christopher Michael) steals a mustang and hits the desert road. His sights are set on winning an impossible game: Collect all the letters to spell out the word MOTORAMA from local gas stations and win the grand prize of 500 MILLION DOLLARS! Sounds easy, right? Well, it might cost him a car, an eye and his immortal soul to win it all.
From Joseph Minion, the writer of Martin Scorsese’s AFTER HOURS and the Nic Cage tour de force VAMPIRE’S KISS, comes this surreal road movie odyssey that's packed to the brim with Lynchian-like visuals and fantastic character actors like Jack Vance, Dick Miller, Susan Tyrrell, Mary Woronov and Meatloaf.
