The film involves a philandering accountant who goes to Las Vegas on a business trip, where he encounters the seductive Marissa and her jealous ex-boyfriend. The former pair kill and bury the latter along the eponymous "Zzyzx Road", a rural road off of Interstate 15 in California's Mojave Desert. (The road's name is slightly altered.) Zyzzyx Road is not associated with the similarly-named Zzyzx.

Synopsis
Grant is an accountant with a bad marriage and a beloved daughter. He takes to the road to service his accounts in Las Vegas. While there he meets seductive Marissa. They have a week-long affair which culminates in the arrival of Marissa's ex-boyfriend, Joey. Joey attempts to kill the lovers and Grant and Joey are forced into hand-to-hand combat. Grant gets the upper hand and, in turn, kills Joey. Panicked with a dead body on their hands, Grant and Marissa then drive Joey's body to Zyzzyx Road in the desert, where Grant buries it. The next morning, the body is missing and Grant begins to question reality as strange things are beginning to happen. He begins to believe he is being set up and that something is trying to kill him and Marissa. In the Death of a Salesman-meets-Lolita ending, Zzyzx Road reveals a shocking, tragic twist.Actors

In the last two days of 1999, Los Angeles has become a dangerous war zone. As a group of criminals rob a Chinese restaurant, the event is recorded by a robber wearing a 'SQUID', or "Superconducting Quantum Interference Device", an illegal electronic device which records events directly from the wearer's cerebral cortex, and when played back through a MiniDisc-like device called a "deck", allow a user to experience the recorder's memories and physical sensations. Lenny Nero is a former LAPD officer turned black marketeer who deals in bootleg SQUID recordings. His main supplier, Tick (Richard Edson), tries to sell the robbery clip to him. Lenny eventually agrees to buy it at a reduced price, having to cut out the last part where the rig records the robber's death by falling; clips that record the wearer's death are known as "blackjack" (snuff) clips, because the experience is described as "jacking into the big black" by Tick.
