The story centers on Wanda, a rural housewife who embarks on a journey across an American landscape of decrepit factories, two-lane wastelands and ratty motels. Dragged into a relationship with small-time crook Michael Higgins, Wanda floats through life like a witness - a view of desperation filtered through a tinted windshield.

Wanda

Wanda, the mother of several small children, feels lonely and isolated in the Pennsylvania Rust Belt. Her husband works sporadically; just as he has abandoned her, so does she abandon him and their children, spending time in bars to pick up men. One night, she meets a petty thief who ropes her into his next criminal scheme.
