New York City
Cowboy Mouth takes us into the frenetic fantasy world of the mad, poetic, and beautiful Cavale. She has kidnapped Slim at gunpoint with the agenda of creating the ultimate rock and roll savior. Slim, a former rocker who once had a similar dream, is married with a child. However, he falls in love with Cavale and becomes enthralled by her conviction that rock and roll is the ultimate expression of their time. Cooped up in Cavale’s run-down shack, the tormented relationship between Slim, Cavale, and her pet crow Raymond comes to a climax with a fascination for Lobster Man, a delivery man who brings them lobster.
