The film is three stories about one story, featuring an exciting and quirky cast of characters living on the edge. It includes a restaurant owner (Carol Kane), a suicidal young man (Luke Perry) looking for the perfect way "out," a vacuum cleaner salesman (John Savage) who shoots his uninterested customers until he meets his nemesis (Jennifer Tilly) who kills traveling salesmen, a couple (Eric Roberts and Toni Kalem) who are down on their luck, and even more startling characters. All roads lead to the same out-of-the-way watering hole where fates are decided with unexpected results.
