B.J. Spalding and Eszter Balint play a couple of losers, mired in a miserable flyspeck town in Missouri. As Spalding lies in his bed and plays with his guns, Balint spends her waking hours shoplifting, courting immediate incarceration for having recently jumped bail. Deciding to head to New York to seek their fortune (if any), the couple makes the acquaintance of spiritualist Joie Lee, who predicts that "tremendous influences" will be summoned up so long as the two of them remain together. As the couple journeys towards the Big Apple, their trail is marked by innumerable natural disasters, culminating in a tidal wave that engulfs most of Staten Island. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
