Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The movie is about a road trip that goes horribly wrong. Brian Kessler (Duchovny) is a journalist determined to make a book about serial killers, and also wants to move to California with his photographer girlfriend Carrie Laughlin (Forbes). They decide to do both at once, by driving to California and visiting infamous murder sites on the way. To subsidize the trip, they take on a pair of travelling companions - Southerner Early Grayce (Pitt) and his child-like girlfriend Adele Corners (Lewis).

While the two couples at first attempt to get over their obvious differences with each other, their trips to murder sites become progressively more eerie, particularly when it is revealed that one of the four is in fact a serial killer.

  • Brad Pitt as Early Grayce
  • Juliette Lewis as Adele Corners
  • David Duchovny as Brian Kessler
  • Michelle Forbes as Carrie Laughlin
  • Kathy Larson as Teenage Girl
  • David Milford as Driver
  • John Zarchen as Peter
  • David Rose as Eric
  • Tommy Chappelle as Old Man
  • Judson Vaughn as Parole Officer
  • Patricia Sill as Carol
  • Brett Rice as Police Officer
  • Marisa Raper as Little Girl
  • Bill Crabb as Middle Aged Farmer
  • Mary Ann Hagan as Waitress
  • Jerry G. White as Gas Station Attendant
  • Sarah Sullivan as Bar Waitress

The murder sites are in fact related to the names of the actors in the film - Lewiston Ranch, Mt. Juliet, Texas; Forbes, Tennessee; Davidson Mine, Duke Cove, Nevada; and Bradbury Textile Warehouse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The car is a 1960s Lincoln Continental, a rare 4 door convertible version, similar to the one in which John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
