Interwoven characters living in Colorado all dealing with the fast food industry in various ways. Mexicans coming over the border, are stuck in meat-packing jobs with asshole bosses, a few local American kids (and Avril Lavigne) are pissed at the system and don’t like the way cows are treated and Greg Kinnear, as an executive from a very popular fast-food chain, is sent to this part of Americana to check up on their meat ingredients. Word on the street is that they might include crap. The knocking of fast-food ensues and so do yawns.
