In the bleak, coal-dusted confines of a slowly dying Pennsylvania town, best friends Dar and Tuck find themselves trapped in a seemingly endless loop of tedium and mischief. Their lives, as dull as the town's forgotten coal mines, revolve around harmless pranks and minor troublemaking for amusement. However, they secretly yearn for something more, something thrilling, something as golden and glittering as the sun-soaked sands of California, where they dream of meeting and charming seaside sirens. To break free and chase their dream, they resort to stealing and hot-wiring cars, embarking on a daring cross-country journey. Along the way, they cross paths with Annie, a reckless outlaw with a haunting past. She hails from a town destroyed by a chemical accident, an incident cloaked in secrecy and denial by officials. As a result, she bears the consequences of a world where life was slowly extinguished by a silent killer - dioxide. This tragedy fuels her thirst for thrill and danger, leading her to a life of small-scale robberies. Annie's daring spirit and lust for life captivates Dar, creating an unexpected romantic complexity that leaves Tuck feeling like an outsider. Despite this, they welcome Annie into their adventure, drawn to her audacious spirit. As their journey continues, they encounter Cora, a disgruntled Native American hitchhiker yearning to return to her reservation home. Tuck finds himself attracted to her, creating a sense of balance among the group. Just as they start to feel like a band of misfit dreamers, the unpredictable Annie orchestrates another heist, triggering a series of unforeseen events that spiral their journey into a whirlwind of chaos and revelation.
