Unhinged by the murder of his wife by a madman dressed as a cowboy, Alexis hops into his car and lays himself wide open for a number of adventures; some of them are heavenly, but most of them are harrowing in the extreme. Along the way he meets a suicidal emigre and brings her along his complicated journey.
