The film follows Adam, a directionless 16-year-old living in the working-class town of Marfa, Texas, and his sexual relationships with his teenage girlfriend, twenty-something neighbour, an aggressive local artist and high school teacher. At the same time, an unhinged, misogynistic border patrol agent watches over the neighbourhood. What ensues is a web of sex, drugs, and violence as the Latino skater punks adjust to their gritty, aimless life in the dead-end town.
