The story

An unnamed hobo arrives by boxcar in the city of Hope Town, where its graffitied welcome sign reads "Scum Town". The city is ruled over by a ruthless crime lord named "The Drake" and his sadistic sons Ivan and Slick. The Hobo walks the town's suburbs where he watches an amateur filmmaker shooting a Bumfights-style movie with homeless people.
