The
movie is about a road trip that goes horribly wrong. Brian Kessler
(David 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 (Michelle 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 (Brad Pitt) and his child-like
girlfriend Adele Corners (Juliette 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.
