AMERICAN STRAYS

“Love 'em or Kill 'em.”

Somewhere on the fringe of society, ten dangerous strangers are on a road to Red's Desert Oasis Diner. Packing more fire power than the LA police force, two hitmen, two hoods, two outlaws, and a mixed bag of other quirky characters hilariously converge for the showdown of a lifetime.
