Overview

On the sunbaked highways of New Mexico, a hard-nosed mother runs a brothel catering to long-haul truckers, keeping her operation tight—and her daughter under an equally tight leash. But her daughter's patience with maternal control is wearing thin, setting the stage for a showdown when she starts collaborating with some ambitious men from the so-called Eastern Mafia. As rivalries heat up and alliances shift, the mother-daughter relationship is tested against the backdrop of organized crime, road culture, and no shortage of nudity and danger. This film blends action, crime, and dark humor with a distinctly 1970s sense of grit and rebellion.
