A past his prime photographer heads out on a road trip across the American Southwest to recapture the magic and success of his previous work. Instead, he finds himself thrust into the dark and chaotic underbelly of America and unwittingly drags his wife and a shady private detective down into this nightmare world with him. Director Joshua Erkman’s feature debut "A Desert" is a special kind of genre hybrid, taking inherently dark narrative touchstones from noir cinema and darkening them even further with visceral horror featuring a hypnotic and pulsating score by indie-rocker Ty Segall and intense supporting role played by The Jesus Lizard's David Yow.
