LOS ANGELES FILM REVIEW:

"As these flawed characters travel through a stark and beautiful Arizona landscape, we are repelled yet drawn in by the callous way they interact. A young woman steps over her boyfriends dead cousin in quest of money. A deranged strangler sings children songs as he kills. Characters self obsessed but utterly attention grabbing. This poetic and visual story of greed in the desert keeps ypu watching and wondering. Writer/Director Jeff Gallea's unique first feature film is told in a color saturated world of sad dreamers lost in the large American landscape."

-Los Angeles Film Review by Will Simons 2006
