On the Long Island Expressway there are lanes going east, lanes going west, and lanes going straight to hell.

Overview

With his mother dead and his father busy at work, Howie feels adrift in his New York suburb.

He propositions Howie, who declines, but the two eventually develop an unlikely and dangerous friendship.
