The fates collide at 11:14 at night in a place where only people with real bad luck are out driving. The bad luck involves doughnuts, car keys, a bowling ball, a handgun, a dog, a dead body, some jumper cables, a gravestone and a missing penis. Really. This is like a poor man's "Crash", an ensemble piece in which everything's connected, in a story that continually doubles back on itself. No high-stakes moralizing, just a bunch of stuff that happens, resulting in all that bad luck. Ben Foster plays the unlucky joyrider whose member goes missing. Ouch.
