The anger. The destructiveness. The urge to kill in cold blood. They weren't born with it...

Roy and Bo leave their small town the weekend after graduation for a short road trip to LA. Soon, they find themselves lashing out and leaving a trail of bodies behind them. The violence escalates throughout.
