Road

In Road two ex-lovers set out on a road trip when Margaret (Catherine Kellner), a freelance photographer, gets her first big assignment: to survey environmental clean-up sites using the latest government-issued technology. Jay (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), her unemployed ex-boyfriend, comes along for the ride in a trip that increasingly goes awry. As they travel into a landscape filled with one abandoned environmental disaster after another, painful memories of their troubled relationship begin to emerge and the couple plunge into an emotional and physical limbo. Suddenly, back roads lead to nowhere, equipment fails, and Margaret and Jay inexplicably encounter the same foreboding characters over and over again, including a country music-loving-toxic-waste-hauling-big-rig driver (Peter Appel), and a doomed park ranger (James Urbaniak) tending Lake Baxter, "the most polluted lake in North America."
