Sam, a sick and struggling country/folk musician leaves Los Angeles behind to revisit his past and his estranged father in Louisiana for the last time. His journey leads him through the fading soul of a country that lived through better days. With the coarseness of a gritty street poem the film reflects the inner struggle of processing non-recognition, loss, failure and the correlation between sensitivity and self-destructiveness.
