And here is a synopsis of the complete story:

Kyle is a 26-year-old living in a small town in Texas. He works a dead end job at a convenience store and has recently broken up with his long time girlfriend. These circumstances cause him to drink heavily and smoke marijuana, which is supplied by his friend Jimmy, the son of his boss. Kyle and Jimmy’s relationship has deteriorated due to Kyle continually not paying for his supply. Things are made even worse when one night while hanging out at Jimmy’s, Kyle drunkenly has sex with the much older Nancy, Jimmy’s mother and his boss Bruce’s wife.

Jimmy is furious. Fearing that he will do something drastic, Kyle hatches a plan to rob the convenience store for the money he owes him, hoping this will fix things. Wearing a balaclava, he successfully manages to rob money from the store on a night that Bruce is working. But his exit is clumsy and through a series of comical errors he manages to both expose himself and shoot Bruce dead, all of this captured on the security cameras. Panicked, Kyle hastily plans to flee to Mexico. In order to drive there without suspicion, he decides to steal the car of his ex-girlfriend Harley’s father, who regularly travels there on business. While stealing the car he is caught by Harley, whose wild and rebellious streak combined with her lingering feelings for Kyle cause her to join him in fleeing.
Meanwhile, two bumbling local cops named Duggans & Holton set out to capture Kyle, seeking their big break. Also, Jimmy and Nancy, believing it was Kyle’s intention all along to kill Bruce, hire the services of hitman Liam Connelly. Liam lives in a town near the Mexican border and plans to ambush Kyle there. Not far into their journey, Kyle and Harley somehow decide to pick up hitchhiker Owen Connelly, Liam’s brother. Owen is unaware Liam is a hitman. In each town they drive through, the trio have wild experiences with the colourful locals, as well as having several near-escapes from the comically inept Duggans & Holton. Kyle and Owen become easy friends, while Kyle and Harley bicker constantly but are also battling their feelings for each other. During one particularly close escape, the trio are involved in a foot chase and shootout with Duggans & Holton, with Owen saving Harley’s life. This makes Kyle jealous and angry.

They finally arrive in the town where Liam lives. Owen tells the two that on past visits, Liam’s wife has made unwanted advances towards him and that she makes him uncomfortable. For this reason, Owen demands that Kyle remain in a motel while he visits the house with Harley, who will pretend to be his girlfriend. She obliges as she feels she owes him for saving her life. They make the visit and Kyle remains in the motel, until he starts to become paranoid that Harley and Owen are in fact sleeping together and he goes to the house. Kyle arrives at the house, as do Duggans & Holton. A gunfight breaks out, with Kyle and Harley being the only ones left standing. The couple continue towards Mexico, dreaming of a fresh start. They are unaware that before their deaths, Duggans and Holton finally abandoned their quest for individual glory and alerted the border authorities.
