The film is very gratuitous and is reminiscent of films such as Pink Flamingos and Gummo due to its collection of oddball characters and its blunt depiction of the grotesque living standards of its characters.
Plot
Coney Island (Giuseppe Andrews) is a young trailer-park resident who spends his days cheering up the various characters in his neighborhood with songs that he writes and performs on his keyboard. After his dad comes home from prison, Coney Island turns to him for advice on love and life.
