A comedian tours the California desert caught in a struggle between being the center of attention and the object of alienation. By day he visits novelty tourist attractions, and makes vain attempts to reach his estranged daughter. By night, he performs, fueled by the promise of a big Hollywood show. As it nears, he wanders through a series of increasingly hallucinatory encounters in this surreally funny, critically acclaimed Sundance Film Festival highlight. With Gregg Turkington, Tye Sheridan, John C. Reilly, and Michael Cera.
