The consequences are an inescapable future derived from a particular dilemma that usually arises by chance. And they are almost always negative, due to the fatality that has taken over the concept of this word.

It's the 50's in the United States. For some guys, driving at full speed on a lonely road in the middle of a night of debauchery can be a form of leisure and adrenaline. But the lack of control at the wheel had a sinister outcome in the case of Johnny and his people. Between the bustle and speed, they could only see the impact with something that had crossed them on the road.

They stopped their Cadillac in the middle of the desert, suddenly silent, like a bad omen. Behind them, lying on the ground, a little Indian girl lay lifeless. Between the boys the conflict arises about whether or not they should report to the sheriff of the Californian Apple Valley. In the end they don't. Still influenced by alcohol or simply ruled by fear, they end up on the run.

The boys shunned the law and justice, hoping to eventually bury the fateful event. But another kind of justice awaited them when they woke up the next day. The desert is taking full revenge, little by little the boys are watching how the summary justice of death approaches them.

The consequences of the run over are there. Death can be a ruthless judge who, claimed by the right victim, proceeds to revenge.

A haunting thriller with a genuine retro setting. A sinister adventure in the wasteland.
