A collection of losers, misfits, and outcasts find their lives unexpectedly converging at a diner along a desert highway in this violent and offbeat
comedy drama.
Dwayne (
John Savage) is a strait-laced-looking vacuum cleaner salesman with a bad habit of murdering prospective customers, while
Patty Mae (
Jennifer Tilly) is a sexy mystery woman who has amassed an impressive collection of carpet sweepers. Martin (
Eric Roberts) is a down-on-his-luck family man wondering how he'll support his wife and kids now that he has lost his job. Johnny (
Luke Perry) is a deeply depressed young man who has arranged for a hired killer (
Sam J. Jones) to murder him, not knowing that the killer has no intentions of allowing him to die quickly or easily. And
Harv (
James Russo) and
Gene (
Joe Viterelli) are a pair of mobsters from Las Vegas who discuss their various problems with women, not very concerned about the fact there's a man locked in the trunk of their car.
American Strays also features
Carol Kane,
Brion James, and
Melora Walters.
