When penniless hermit, ALEX, loses his apartment, and all hope for the future, he's forced to call his old high school buddy, PAT, now a successful telemarketer. Looking to recapture a lost sense of adventure, Pat agrees to give Alex a lift to his childhood home across the country. Little does Pat know, however, that Alex is haunted by visions of a sinister ASTRONAUT, whose very presence has the potential to derail the journey.
