"This examination of the lower classes takes its two characters on a road movie the only way the impoverished can travel--on foot. This amusing societal study watches Ben (Gary Farmer - The Score, Powwow Highway, Ghost Dog) and The Man (Stephen Ouimette - X-Men, The Adjuster), two homeless men with only one possession between them, an electric space heater. Despite cold December weather, the partners are unable to use this modern invention to warm up since they have no outlet to plug the device into. What follows is a poignant and often hilarious chronicle of the two men's journey from the inner city to a suburban shopping mall, battling bitter cold, callous fellow humanity and their difficulty in clinging on to one another....
