Sports legends,
serial killers, movie stars - many notable characters have come out of the small
city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Now, a documentarian has discovered some of
Baton Rouge’s not-so-notable characters, three hopeless misfits who exhaust
their meager resources to realize their dreams – dreams which are vastly
different, though equally insignificant and impossible to accomplish.
Dale Kernie, a
21-year-old musician, believes that he has composed America’s latest and
greatest national anthem. With little talent, no substantial contacts, yet lots
of optimistic determination, Dale sets out on the long and confusing path of
replacing “The Star-Spangled Banner” with his own “My America.”
Russell Cagle, a
27-year-old high school dropout, possesses little except the vague desire to
film a documentary about Abraham Lincoln and the Lincoln Memorial. Since he
knows nothing about Lincoln or filmmaking (or films, for that matter), this is a
problem. Yet Russ struggles to finish his movie, even though he's penniless,
clumsy, ignorant, and technically homeless.
Justin Justice, age
unknown, has his sights set on Washington, DC, where he hopes to offer his
protective services to the president of the United States. However, nobody,
including the criminals of Baton Rouge, knows that this self-proclaimed
“crime-fighting superhero” even exists. Justin aims to bide his time with menial
tasks around town until he feels President Bush beckoning him.
Spacey, untalented,
and delusional, the three young men press forward, unaware of each other, their
separate dreams meshing together into one ridiculous reality that none of them
could have imagined.
