Description:
Dave Foley plays a shallow, self-absorbed, and really, really stupid corporate executive who hits the lonely road as a clueless fugitive running from a murder he didn't commit. In fact, despite his best efforts to incriminate himself, he's not even a suspect. Not that you could convince him of that.

Colm Feore costars as the stone cold killer who pegs F
Dave Foley plays a shallow, self-absorbed, and really, really stupid corporate executive who hits the lonely road as a clueless fugitive running from a murder he didn't commit.
