The Hitchhiker
It's a long, lonely and dangerous highway. No place for a pretty young girl, unless she's a cock crazy road slut on Route 69 with nothing but sex on her dirty little mind! Sin City brings you an outrageous tale of six psychotic little highway whores whose idea of fun is being picked up by total strangers out on the interstate, and showing them how to really drive it home. It's a crash course in pumpin' gas and pounding ass, backseat blowjobs, and a high speed trip up Anal Avenue that dead ends right in the middle of an all night orgy in overdrive... Fasten your seatbelts!
