The film is initially set in Chicago, where two impoverished musicians are working for a duo of Arab businessmen. Their employers want to transport illegally-obtained money to Las Vegas, so they hide it in a limousine. They arrange for the musicians to drive the limousine to Vegas, without informing them of the actual nature of their mission. Since the employers did not provide them with travel expenses, the musicians sell parts of the car. After delivering the car, they wander in the deserts of Nevada on foot. Their employers are searching for them to kill them.
