## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A petty crook hitches an LA ride to meet a French exchange student, only to upgrade his stolen getaway ride to a one-way corpse. The chase begins when the brief detour yields a cop with a badge and a pulse. Four decades on it's still ahead of its time, though its heart remains parked at the curb.

**Mood tags**: raw, sexy, unhinged
