In a country where violence seems to be the norm, two young lovers decide to take their love to the extreme and unleash a wave of murders. Mickey and Mallory Knox, played by Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, are a dysfunctional couple embarking on a bloody crusade across the United States. After escaping their abusive childhoods and a series of violent encounters, the couple becomes a media sensation, capturing the attention of the public and the press alike.
As they move forward in their relentless criminal spree, reality warps and the lines between good and evil become increasingly blurred. The heroes and villains of their story are petty, and the media glorifies their brutality. As the body count rises, so does the phenomenon of the celebrity culture surrounding them, turning their journey into a sensational spectacle.
In this intense journey, themes of violence in society, media manipulation, and the search for identity in a world that seems not to understand them are presented. With a provocative visual style and a non-linear narrative, the story challenges the viewer to confront their own relationship with violence and fame, turning Mickey and Mallory into tragic icons of their time. In the end, only one question remains: who are the real monsters?
