A broke-down middle aged Texas troubadour yearns to be remembered like the southern bluesmen before him, but his failings and self-doubt forestall his musical dreams and blind him to the open road.

A young businessman from New York (Layne Edelman) visits a diner in Topeka while on a business trip through the Midwest.

When he returns to his table to find his belongings stolen, Layne's 'small town experience' spins mercilessly out of control.
