Two truckers struggle to stay financially afloat in economic hard times in his downbeat highway drama. But to do so, they must battle the cops and the major conglomerates that threaten to overtake them. While driving they pick up a prostitute who offers her services in exchange for a lift to New York. They give her a ride, but when they refuse her favors she punishes them with long, dull stories about her miserable life. Eventually the self-destructive, angry young woman destroys them all.
