Agnes is an unstable, hard-drinking waitress who is trying to get over the loss of her son. Peter is a paranoid soldier gone AWOL. These two desperate souls find solace in each other and go gradually insane together in her motel room in Oklahoma. This unsettling one room drama is based on Tracy Letts' stage play. Its graphic depiction of paranoia is disturbing in both positive and negative senses of the word. Judd and Shannon give incredibly raw performances.
