ZYZZYX ROAD SYNOPSIS:

Staid accountant Grant finds himself questioning his sanity after he begins a passionate affair with the enigmatic Marissa in Las Vegas and winds up killing her jealous boyfriend, Joey, when he attacks them. But is Joey really dead?​​​

 

What happens in Vegas, gets buried on Zyzzyx Road.

An illicit affair between an accountant locked in an unhappy marriage and a seductive Las Vegas beauty leads them both down a dangerous path. Grant (Leo Grillo) loves his daughter, but can't stand the sight of his wife. Determined to make a killing in Las Vegas, he heads into a local casino and crosses paths with Marissa (Katherine Heigl). Before long the pair are back in Grant's hotel room, where things quickly get hot and heavy. But it all goes wrong when Marissa's violent ex-boyfriend Joey (Tom Sizemore) crashes through the door in a fit of rage. When the smoke clears, Joey is dead. Determined not to spend the rest of their lives in prison, Grant and Marissa plot to bury the body on Zyzzyx Road. When the corpse goes missing, the couple starts to question whether Joey was ever really dead in the first place. They get their answer when Joey mysteriously reappears, resuming the fight under the dark desert sky. Eventually the two brawlers realize they've been drawn into a mystery where no one can be trusted, and each move could be their last.

Zyzzyx Road opened theatrically in 2006, gaining notoriety and cult status by being known for the lowest-grossing film in U.S. history in terms of box office sales after making only $30 on its opening weekend.
