On the Road

Veneno, a young drifter, sells drugs and his body to survive on the rugged country roads of northern Mexico. He charms Muñeco, a tough driver, into leading him deep into his hyper-masculine world of long-distance transportation. Despite the miles traveled and the intimacy that has arisen, Veneno's dark past catches up with them, causing Muñeco to put everything on the line for his new obsession.
