An abandoned teen attempts to learn the rules of the road after being left by his mother at a roadside motel in this quirky
crime drama starring screen veterans
Carol Lynley,
Barbara McNair, and
William Smith. Upon realizing that his mother has abandoned him at a seedy motel in the middle of nowhere, innocent teen
Otis (
Matt Dotson) sets out to find his place in the world with little more than a compass, a bag of Twinkies, and dreams of Las Vegas. Soon making the acquaintance of female bandits
Faith (
Lynley) and
Grace (
McNair),
Otis tags along for the ride in hopes of making his way to Sin City. Little does
Otis know that the two wanted women are about to rendezvous with seasoned con artist
Clyde (
Smith), who currently has his sights set on a high-stakes poker game that will serve as his last big score before retiring from a life of crime. Just as
Otis thinks he is becoming savvy to the criminal code, he learns the hard way that the only rule on the road is to survive at any cost.
