Erica (Amanda Fuller) drifts through the bars of Austin going from one sexual partner to another, never connecting emotionally. That changes when she meets Nate (Noah Taylor, Shine, Almost Famous), a discharged Iraqi vet who is more interested in being Erica's friend than her latest conquest. A strong bond of friendship develops between them, but Erica's background intrudes in the form of Franki (Marc Senter), a wannabe rock star whose sudden presence sets the stage for a shocking conclusion. With Red, White & Blue director Simon Rumley (The Living and the Dead) crafts a formidable "trip through the darkest corners of the American psyche" (Anton Bitel, Little White Lies).
