This film is a captivating and compelling road trip through the creative spirit of the South. "Alt" Country singer Jim White takes his white-trash muscle car through a gritty terrain of churches, prisons, truck stops, biker bars and coal mines. Writer Steve Haisman says they were "trying to pin down what it is about this baffling place that inspires musicians and writers." The result is a journey through a very real contemporary Southern America. Along the way are roadside encounters with present-day musical mavericks, including the Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd, David Eugene Edwards, David Johansen, and old time banjo player Lee Sexton, as well as novelist Harry Crews. And all the while, a strange Southern Jesus looms in the background.
