O…kay.
Nick (Michael Palma) and Hayden (Tom Rittenhouse) learned that a high school friend has died
and both plan to attend the funeral. When Hayden’s taxi gets a flat he suggests
that he and Nick go to the funeral together. Shortly afterword
Nick’s car suffers the same fate. Hitchhiking, the two encounter an old high
school bully, Trent “The Trigger” (John Chatham), who drags them into stealing an
ex-girlfriend’s pair of underwear. After Hayden makes fun of Trent’s poetry, that he found in the back of the jeep, the
two are once again hitchhiking only to be picked up by someone stranger. The
stranger (Andrew Treglia) attempts to get them
to help him rob a gas station when Hayden accidentally shoots the man in the
butt.
This short film was
meant as a comedy but it really didn’t strike me as all that funny. While
