Synopsis
NL | Joe Potay, een aandoenlijke sleepwagenchauffeur, vindt Kelli leuk, een medebewoner van North Carolina, wanneer hij haar ontmoet terwijl hij de lege batterij van haar auto vervangt. Maar Joe’s interesse neemt een scherpe bocht naar rechts als hij hoort dat Kelli een moslim is. Kelli zit opgescheept met Joe in zijn takelwagen, terwijl hij zijn ultraconservatieve witte nationalistische ideeën onthult. Joe vertelt Kelli dat ze naar de hel is verdoemd, dus Kelli insinueert dat ze iets speciaals voor hem in zijn truck heeft achtergelaten.
ENG | Joe Potay, an adorable tow truck driver really digs Kelli, a fellow North Carolinian, when he meets her as he changes her dead car battery. But Joe’s interest takes a sharp right turn when he learns that Kelli is a Muslim. Kelli finds herself stuck in Joe’s tow truck cab as he reveals his ultra-conservative white nationalist ideas. Joe informs Kelli that she’s damned to hell, so Kelli insinuates she’s left him something special in his truck.
