An offbeat romantic comedy about a decent guy, Ray Tuckby, with a dead-end life in the dead-end town of Trona, CA. After encouragement from a stranger whom he happen upon, Ray begin to dream again. He sheds the parasites in his life, muster the nerve to purue his childhood love, and finally takes back his community by toppling the local teenage Meth-baron.
Close to the entrance to Death Valley is the God-foraken town of Trona. It's nearly empty: dry, with polluted water and poisoned soil. Dilapidated houses hold slacker and stoner. The town is virtually owned by Dirk, a heartless young meth dealer. In the midst of this lives Ray Tuckby, a naïf, unhappily married with a slothful son. The highlight of Ray's day is chatting with Nora, a clerk at the market. When Ray comes home early from work and finds his wife in bed with his brother, a few things start to change. Then he meets Merl, who's putting in a Chevron station, and Merl encourages Ray to dream. Can he? A recipe for meringue may hold one of the keys.
