Christian hitchhikes on a dark highway in Minnesota, waiting near the last exit before a seeming black hole. On the other side of the road, a woman carrying a sign saying “Alaska” hitchhikes in the opposite direction. When Christian crosses the road, reality shifts like a kaleidoscope. Is he a fugitive? Has he run over his stepfather with the man’s own car? Is he a community college dropout? Is the woman his mother or Medea? And is the man who arrives Elvis? Or Darth Vader? Or Christian’s father? Are the aliens landing any minute? Or is none of it real, and Christian’s just a kid stuck outside his house on a freezing cold night trying to negotiate his way back in?
