David Spade plays Joe, whose search for his family has him hittin' the road and keepin' it real with every lowlife he meets, including a sweet hottie (Daniel), a janitor (Walken) and a psychotic cannibal (Thompson). Through it all, Joe keeps on truckin'... all the way to L.A., where a shock-jock DJ (Miller) targets Joe as the butt of his show. But Joe's plucky spirit encourages listeners to cheer him on and help him find a better family than the one he thought he wanted.
