Ray (Chris Klein) is a charming wanna-be drummer who plays in an amateur band and works at a dead-end job. When the duo are not working on their independent projects, they spend most of their time together drinking beer and getting into mischief.

When things do not go as planned, Owen ends up taking Ray with him on his road trip to LA, and they have all kinds of unexpected encounters.moreless
