Synopsis
Mike Waters, a streetwise hustler plagued by narcoleptic episodes, hooks up with Scott Favor, the defiant son of a local mayor, and the two set off from Portland on a restless odyssey through Idaho to the Italian coast in search of Mike’s long-absent mother. Living on the margins, they exchange companionship and sex for money and drugs, pushing the limits of loyalty and self-destruction. Their drift through desperation eventually draws the attention of a wealthy patron whose dangerous desires threaten to upend everything they thought they were looking for.
