When Brian Kessler (David Duchovny), a journalist researching serial killers and photographer girlfriend, Carrie Laughlin (Michelle Forbes), decide to cross America visiting scenes of infamous murders with the idea of compiling a book, they take on two companions to help foot the bills. Unfortunately, one is Early Grayce (Brad Pitt), and his girlfriend, the slow-witted, child-like Adele Corners (Juliette Lewis). White Trash is how Carrie sums them up, but as she grows to like and feel pity for Adele, her suspicions of Early become full-blown terror as he reveals more and more of his dark side. Though their cross country voyage begins with Brian behind the wheel, Early Grayce ultimately takes them all on a ride theyll never forget.
