Pokey Jones (Don McKellar) is a naive small town barber in northern Ontario. He dreams of getting out and playing his trumpet. One morning, he finds a frozen corpse. Jackie Bangs (Valerie Buhagiar) is a tough roadie who rides the bus to the end of the line. She pretends to be the dead man's sister and smuggle stolen drugs across the border. The dead man sold Mr. Skin his soul who now wants the body. Jackie can't get a ride hitchhiking to New Orleans and Pokey offers to drive Highway 61 all the way south.
Director Bruce McDonald reunites his Roadkill actors McKellar, Buhagiar and others in another weird Canadian indie. McKellar and Buhagiar are great together just like before. Earl Pastko is wonderfully weird. The father and his three daughters are great material. Mr. Skin telling the little girl that she's ugly is terrific. Nobody names a girl Florida. It's an outsider indie with a lot great weird stuff.
