Description: Set in the world of professional motorcycle racing, racer Bud Clay (Gallo) sets out on a road trip from New Hampshire, where his latest race was, to California, where he has a race in five days. As he travels across the country, he is haunted by the memories of his lost love, a girl named Daisy Lemon (Sevigny). Along the way, he tries to find a new love to call his own, but his feelings for Daisy seem to hold him back.

Gallo, on his film: "When I said it's not autobiographical, what I meant was that this is not a display of Vincent Gallo's idea of sex, Vincent Gallo's idea of a relationship, etc. What makes a film personal is that there are points of view that I have personal feelings about. There are experiences that I've shared. There are conflicts that I understand. I build those into a whole character, into a whole narration. (...) I hope the work transcends my reasons for making it. So, to sit up here and talk about my film as if I had intellectual control over it, as if I had complete objectivity and a complete sense of what it is I wanted to say, I think it would be dishonest and unrealistic. (...) But, my best work, the best things that I'll ever do in my life will be far more interesting than me and my reasons for doing them."
