Synopsis

A young adult from New York is on his way to California for a business meeting when he runs into trouble with some local hoodlums in Kingman, who shoot at his car and try to run him off the road. He hooks up with a hitchhiker who is also passing through town and turns out to be a former rock and roll musician.
