15 year old Julia Garner is growing up in a polygamist family in contemporary southern Utah, when she becomes convinced that she has become miraculously impregnated after listing to rock and roll music for the first time on a blue cassette tape she found. Spurning a hastily arranged marriage Julia steals her father's pick up truck and heads for Las Vegas with the goal of finding the voice on the tape, who she believes to be the true father of her baby. While in sin city Julia falls in with Rory Culkin and a small group of music lovers. Strange and uneven, the film is carried by the performances of the two leads as well as Liam Aiken as Julia's half brother. **1/2
The scenes at the polygamist community were filmed at the famously cinematic ghost town of Grafton, Utah.
