   Summary

   When fast food worker Jess very publicly breaks off her toxic relationship with fellow Burgers Burgers Burgers employee Chris, his harassment of their introverted coworker Randy Bradley takes a dark turn. The resulting chaos pushes the eternally shy and self-hating Randy into a decaying orbit around his often aloof and vaguely menacing older coworker Benson, setting them on a collision course neither are emotionally or mentally prepared for. Their past traumas, insecurities and family obligations weigh their every step as they fight to find something clean in the bleak cracked streets and trash-strewn woods of Nowhere, USA. The discovery of a mysterious woman hiding out near their sleepy, crumbling town sets off an explosive chain of events that will leave all of them grappling for survival.
