Set in a remote Pennsylvania coal-mining town, this off-beat comedy follows the relationship between Carla, a hippie woman, and Rupert, a young punk rocker who feels like a pariah. Hoping to leave their current lives behind, the two conspire to kidnap Rupert's father and hold him for ransom.

“I got you a V C R!!!”Surprising bleak realism in what starts as just an wacky accordion intro’d 90’s off beat slice of life.
This might be one of my top ten keanus.
Basically his parents are miserable; his mom is cheating on his dad, his dad is upset that his kid isnt living up to his ideal. And the cougar he’s crushin on breaks his heart.
There’s only one thing to do- get drunk and make friends with punks, then kidnap your own dad. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
