When Rick Boski is released from prison, his wife, Marietta isn’t waiting for him. She’s hooked up with kick-boxing wannabe Thaiphoon Tony. But Rick has other dreams: opening his café designed on a prison theme. Meanwhile Guthrie dreams of being to drugs what Mick Jagger is to rock and roll. But he's just shot a pizza boy instead of his intended victim, a rival dealer.
Zeen is holding down in a cheap hotel with a life expectancy as short as her skirt. She dreams of an exotic overseas locale but needs Harris to pull it off: if she can get his head out of the form guide. It’s a hot Perth day and these triple-crossers are about to collide. When Marietta steals from Rick who's borrowed money from Guthrie, and Rick and Harris accidentally swap phones at the TAB, Rick has no choice but to drive the Highway to Hell, or Kalgoorlie anyway.
