Somewhere in the American West, there is a gun set to fire at some undisclosed time before the year 2000. In front of this gun is a chair in which thrill-seekers sit, waiting to see if the gun will fire on them. Michael, a teenage runaway from Ohio, sets out to find this legendary chair of death. On the way he meets Valerie, an elderly woman traveling with her possessive, middle-aged son. After Michael finds a kindred spirit in Valerie, he must decide whether to meet what he believes is his rightful fate, or plunge into an uncertain future.
