Synopsis
A black comedy devised by four writers, each given one major character to develop, although most of their dialogue was then improvised. The group is comprised of: a self-loathing failed novelist, and his cool-tempered married girlfriend; her salesman husband who screws up big-time on a lonely road trip; and the pretty young woman who takes tickets at the local cinema and is in love with the failed novelist.
