The Amish Spaceman

A comical road trip across the U.S. with a cast of surreal characters including a failed motivational speaker, a Kamchatkan runaway bride, a sock-crazed mafia boss, and cross-dressing parents.Unsatisfied with the daily grind of a Silicon Valley "business coach and life consultant," Dean Cook weasels his way into a once-in-a-lifetime chance for fame and fortune: a speaking slot at the National Motivational Speaker's Conference in West Virginia. Three days before the conference, Dean's girlfriend breaks up with him and destroys his passport and identification cards. Dean's flight plans are now scrapped, and he's forced to steal a second hand ambulance. On the high-speed drive across the country he meets a Russian girl on the run from her fiancé, a brutal and eccentric collector of women's hosiery. Dean and the girl escape from a series of catastrophes including a shotgun wedding in Reno, Sea MonkeysTM in the Great Salt Lake, and parachuting from a B-25 bomber over Kentucky.Scrambling to catch up to Dean are his gender-bending parents, who see this as the last chance to throw their son a party that doesn't end in complete disaster. Because, after all, it's Dean's birthday.
