About this movie

When a young, urban couple travelling via back roads from Chicago to LA has car trouble in a small, rural town where the residents are less-than-progressive in their thinking, and racial epithets are the common graffiti, cultures clash and tempers flair between the travellers and the locals, which ultimately leads to greater problems for everyone. Starring Academy Award-nominee Terrence Howard ("Crash," "Hustle & Flow") and Nicole Ari Parker (TV's "Soul Food," "King's Ransom").
