Teenagers Amy Blue and Jordan White find their peer Xavier Red beaten up and abandoned by the side of an LA road. They put him into their car, but when they go into a supermarket he explodes in fury and decapitates a cashier with a knife. This starts a getaway drive punctuated by murders and crimes, where the complicity between the three soon becomes sexual as well ... Araki pays tribute to the pioneers Lynch and Tarantino through a visionary plot dripping with hallucinatory violence. He creates a terminal road movie, with a soundtrack perfect for this purpose: NIN, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Front 242, Coil, Aphex Twin, Cocteau Twins...
