A young thug white kid with a dope problem, Cort, gets released from jail and tries to get a job and stay sober. He attends a drug addiction support group where he hooks up with an old using buddy, Marty, an aggressively helpful wild-man with 30 days clean. Cort shares that he is looking for a good friend of his who he has been out of contact with since he went to jail six months ago. The two hit the road in this depressing, Wal-Mart town looking for jobs at all the retail, fast food, and department store chains every small town in America has to offer. He searches for his friend, and deals with all sorts of drama from his past.
