John Lowry is an aging, grumpy, war veteran, viewing life through a haze of pot smoke and booze, in the crumbling town of Entierro, New Mexico. The good news is, he has three friends. The bad news is, his new girlfriend has left him, he's lost his job, and he's been coughing up blood, but he can't remember for how long. Things get worse when a local girl's brutal murder opens up old wounds. He embarks on a strange odyssey, seeking revenge. What he ultimately stumbles upon is a last shot at redemption, but will he recognize and take the right path? At times surreal, poignant, and funny, John's journey is an exploration of the failures of men and the small triumphs of spirit, of what it means to be human, living on the edge of humanity.
