Hours after being released from prison for good behavior, Jesus Quintana (John Turturro) reunites with his best friend and fellow underachiever Petey (Bobby Cannavale). In the first in a series of bad decisions, they steal a car and hit the road for a no-holds-barred joyride — until the car’s owner (Jon Hamm) catches up with them, wounding Petey. Fleeing the scene with Marie (Audrey Tautou), Jesus and Petey continue their adventure in a series of stolen cars, cementing their partnership with an epic petty-crime spree and a three-way romance.
