Lusting for fame, fortune, heavy drugs, and good times, ex-con James Dean shows up at the Minnesota State Fair with his doped-up skinhead buddies and a gun. Alex Speeter saw the trouble coming, but didn't do anything to ward it off. He was too distracted by the Bueno Burrito on the menu at the fair's taco stand where he works, and the quarter of a million dollars in cash he stashed away in Folgers cans in his hotel room. But when the two collide more than sparks fly in this humorous crime tale.
