U Turn (1997)

In co-writer/director Oliver Stone's fatalistic, western-styled neo-noir - it was very similar to the Coen Bros.' Blood Simple (1984) and John Dahl's Red Rock West (1993). The bloody, violence-filled black comedy was filled with so many unpredictable double-crossing twists, U-turns, and changing allegiances that it was difficult to know from moment to moment who would survive and who would perish in the short 24 hour time span of the film. The lurid film told about seduction, deception, jealousy and greed, hidden incestuous and adulterous family relationships and back-stories, and murder (with an ultimate body count of 7, including all four principal characters plus two bikers, and a mother - seen in flashback), with quick editing, jerky camera movements, some odd B/W and angled shots, deeply saturated colors, random graininess, bright flashes, etc.

Co-scripter John Ridley's screenplay was based upon his own unpublished book, titled Stray Dogs. The taglines succinctly described its unpredictability:

• Expect the Unexpected
• Sex. Murder. Betrayal. Everything that makes life worth living.

On an estimated budget of $19 million, the film was a dismal financial failure with gross revenues of only $6.7 million. There were two Golden Raspberry ("Razzie") nominations for the film: Worst Supporting Actor (Jon Voight as a Navajo Blind Man), and Worst Director (Oliver Stone).

• the crime thriller opened with an ironic song, "It's a Good Day" (by Peggy Lee) and symbols of death - roadkill on a desert highway, vultures circling in the air, and a carcass' entrails being picked at he ran over a cat in the road, but heartlessly didn't care to look back
• disreputable, pain pill-popping lout/gambler Bobby Cooper (Sean Penn) was driving along in his red 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang convertible on his way west; his left hand was bandaged due to unknown reasons
• when his car suffered a busted radiator hose, he saw two signs at a crossroads - "Superior 3," and "U Turn OK" - and chose to take a fateful U Turn toward Superior; he pulled off the main highway and drove on a dusty side road into the small remote and desolate town of Superior, Arizona; he spotted Harlin's Garage where he left his car to be 'repaired' by the establishment's owner - greasy, coke-bottle glasses-wearing, grinning satanic mechanic Darrell (Billy Bob Thornton)

Signs at a Cross-Roads

• Bobby set off on foot to the nearby town with his black gym bag, but left his gun in the trunk; he muttered to himself as he entered the main street of the hick town: "Just like a town, only uglier"; he was accosted by an eccentric, mystic, Vietnam Vet and Navajo Indian blind man (Jon Voight) sitting outside the bus depot, who requested that Bobby buy him a soda pop from a nearby machine; after being handed the bottle, the blind man poured part of it onto the ground: "That's for Mother Earth. I'm about 50% Indian" - Bobby retorted: "Congratulations"
• Bobby caught a quick glimpse of the film's gorgeous femme fatale temptress in a tight orange dress; the first sight of her was a flashy, blurry scan of her chest, as she was coming out of a hardware store carrying a stack of packages (drapes and curtain rods); after he caught up to her, she identified herself as Grace McKenna (Jennifer Lopez); he assisted her with the heavy boxes and followed the flirtatious female down the street to her parked Jeep

First View of Grace Carrying Packages to Her Car

• although she was referring to her recent purchases, he was thinking of something else when she said: "You ever see something and just knew you had to have it?"

• after introducing themselves to each other at her Jeep, she mentioned how the hot weather foreshadowed death: "Day like today, you'd be dead in no time"; the town's drawling Sheriff Virgil Potter (Powers Boothe) slowly drove by, asked a few questions, and seemed slightly concerned that Grace was speaking to an out-of-town stranger
• she flirtatiously invited Bobby to her house, to help her install the drapes, and to shower (and clean up) and get something cool to drink; on the drive to her place, he told her that he had "some unfinished business" in Las Vegas - his destination; he described how he was a former competitive tennis pro, and tennis teacher
• it was revealed during his hot shower in her house, via flashback, that his left hand had been injured not by an accident, but due to torture, with two of his fingers chopped off one hand with garden shears as punishment for late payment of an overdue debt of $30,000 by two Russian Mafia thugs in a dark alleyway: ("You have 2 weeks, asshole, take two for now"); Bobby was carrying the cash in his gym bag
• when Grace mentioned she was a fortune-teller, she gave him a reading: "There's something in your past. Something. There's a pain. There's something you want very badly. It seems very far away to you right now. But you're determined. You're determined and you'll do what you must to get it....You tell me what every face tells me. Everybody has a past. They have pain and they have something they want. What is it you want?"; although she asked what he wanted (supposedly to have sex with her), then she coldly mentioned she wanted to hang drapes
• after helping her with the task, Bobby was asked, seductively: "Now what should we do?"; although she gave plenty of signs that she wanted him, she was also playing games and stalling, and he tried to kiss her, but then called her out: "All right, Grace, no more games"; she responded: "And what game you wanna play? You carry my boxes for me and I fall into bed with you?...Maybe I like to know about a man first. Maybe I like to find out what he's made of...Still didn't answer my question...What is it you want?"

Reading His Fortune, and Flirtatious Questions Led to Kissing

• at the very moment, he came up to her (filmed from his POV) and they passionately kissed - and were caught by her grizzly, insanely-jealous older husband Jake McKenna (Nick Nolte), a wealthy realtor, who unexpectedly arrived home and barged in; she blurted out: "I thought you were in Phoenix"; Bobby was shocked to learn that she was married; Jake screamed at his slutty wife: "I got a mind to put you over my knee and paddle your ass raw" and then he punched Bobby in the face; soon, Bobby was ordered out and walking back to town; the beleaguered Bobby feared that he was trapped in the hellish town, assaulted by an angry and crazed husband, and had no money to pay for his expensive car repairs
• on his way back in the hot sun, Bobby was offered a ride by Jake, who began to rib Bobby about his indiscretions with his pretty wife: "A woman with her looks and a man my age, what was I to expect? Women, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em....I'll bet you she just had you hard as a rock, just wiggling her ass in your face. I bet you just wanted to pull her pants down and hog her out, and then I come bust in like a wild bear"
• Grace's despicable husband surprisingly and semi-seriously proposed to Bobby that he might consider killing his younger trampish wife - a "half-breed" Apache: ("Would you kill her?...Because I'm just sick and tired of her goddamn little games"); he suggested that Bobby could murder her and never be caught, and he offered to split her $50,000 dollar life insurance policy money with her murderer; but then he basically admitted that he was just joking with him: "That's right, it's nothin' but a joke, that's all"; Bobby dismissed the idea, although it was a tempting proposal that might solve Bobby's dilemma to raise money and thus escape from town
• Bobby was dropped off in front of a Groceria store and entered to buy a cold soda, when suddenly, he found himself in the middle of a store robbery by two armed male bikers; when Bobby refused to give up his dark bag-satchel (filled with cash), he was struck with the gun and the bag was taken from him; it ended up being destroyed (with the money shredded) when the Mexican shop owner Jamilla (Aida Linares) blasted and killed the two thieves with her shot gun and obliterated the money in the bag at the same time
• Bobby's desire to get his car repaired and back on the road to deliver the cash had totally backfired; he rushed off with a few salvaged bills after paying off Jamila with a $100 bill to keep quiet; he visited the garage and to his amazement, he found his vehicle completely dismantled, and the repair bill for a replacement radiator hose came to a whopping $150 dollars; Darrell wouldn't accept Bobby's gold watch as payment
• in town, Bobby made frantic phone calls to numerous acquaintances to try to acquire a loan, but all hung up on him; he also phoned Mr. Arkady (Valery Nikolaev), one of the Las Vegas gangsters, and told him his "highly improbable story," and then asked to be wired $150 to pay for his car repairs so he could continue to Vegas, sell his car, and pay off his debt of $13,000 dollars; the angered mobster refused, was incensed by the delay and threatened: "That's five weeks. That's also five fingers, because it's a finger a week!"; he now knew his location in Superior, AZ (a "little s--thole about 200 miles east of Phoenix"), and sent his partner Sergi (Ilia Volokh) to take care of him ("this deadbeat won't see tomorrow")
• Bobby sat down inside the town's greasy-spoon Waldorf Cafe and ordered a beer from sassy, hard-edged gum-chewing waitress Flo (Julie Hagerty); [Note: Her name referenced the two-season CBS-TV sit-com spin-off "Flo" from 1980-81, that followed the long-running show "Alice" from 1976-1985.] Bobby was approached by an abused, sad, dim-witted young girl named Jenny (Claire Danes) (with a "Don't Bug Me" shirt) who asked to borrow a quarter for the jukebox to play Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart" - a song by her favorite but dead singer Patsy Cline; she asked cluelessly: "How come she don't put out no more new records?"
• once her mean and possessive boyfriend Toby N. Tucker (Joaquin Phoenix) (nicknamed TNT, with the initials shaved on the back of his head) returned from the rest-room, he saw Jenny talking to Bobby; the short-fused male exploded with jealousy: ("What do you think you're doin' with my girl?") and he instigated an argument with Bobby - he threatened to fight him, but the challenge was interrupted by the arrival of Sheriff Potter with his Eskimo wife and child as they sat in one of the booths; Toby took Jenny by the arm and dragged her away; the song on the jukebox changed to Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire"
• Flo was distracted when Sheriff Potter served himself with the glass coffee pot, burned himself, and the pot shattered on the floor; Bobby attempted to reach for bills in the cash register drawer, but a tabby cat named Shasta that he had kicked away earlier under the counter spooked him and his cash-grab was aborted; out on the street as Bobby opened his off-sale, take-out bottle of beer, he cut his hand and swore about his bad luck: "Get me out of this f--king town"
• hard up for money and feeling trapped in town, Bobby was drawn into entering the McKenna Realty town office, where he approached Jake and offered to take him up on his facetious proposition (as a "slimy bastard") to murder Grace and split her life-insurance policy proceeds; Jake described his tormented, jealous, love-hate relationship with his wife, and also accused her of being a masochist: "I hate lovin' her. I hate havin' to tolerate the little games she plays. Like f--kin' half this town behind my back and laughin' at me. The bitch! She wants me to hit her, and then when I hit her, she likes it. She just likes to fuckin' torture me. God-damn it! (softly) But after all - she's my family. She's my little girl. My baby. I couldn't stand to watch her eyes roll back in her head as she sucks her last breath. No, not me"
• Bobby bargained hard for a pre-payment of $13,000 (just enough to pay his Vegas debt) until Jake accepted; but then, Jake specified that the murder had to be away from the house: "It's got to look like an accident. If it don't, it's no good"; during Jake's voice as he described the murder sequence, the action occurred - he suggested that Bobby first visit Grace at the house, sweet-talk her, then take a ride into the desert in her Jeep followed by her suicidal fall from a cliff; at the cliffside, Bobby suggested that Grace simply leave Jake, but she replied: "It's not that easy....Maybe you can take chances. You can wander around like a stray wherever you please. I can't. I don't wanna be alone"

Murder Sequence - Grace: "I don't want to be alone"

Bobby Tempted to Push Grace Off Cliff

• Bobby had the opportunity to kill Grace but he resisted pushing her off a desert cliff to make it look like an accident after she sighed and wished to fly away to escape: ("I wish I was a bird...If I was a bird, I'd fly to Florida, Disney World...Then I guess I would've seen it all. Then I could die. They say you don't feel anything. That the shock kills you before you hit the ground. I've always imagined it's just like flying"); when he held her back from falling and saved her, she quipped: "I bet right now, you don't know if you want to kill me or f--k me"; he pulled her to him and they kissed
• afterwards, they did make love outdoors on a blanket, but it was coitus interruptus and Bobby had to finish himself off behind a tree; he was frustrated with her: "You're becoming the queen of hot and cold" (a significant clue about her personality); she revealed sordid 'messy' stories of an unfaithful Jake keeping Grace's mother (Sheri Foster) on the side: "Jake was with my mom. After my real father died. He used to call me his 'little half- breed'. He kept my mom on the side, you know, 'cause he had a wife someplace else. He'd control me"
• Jake had also been raping Grace for many years: ("He was raping me the whole time, for years"); she described how her mother was affected: "It tore her up 'cause she couldn't do nothin' about it. She become alcoholic. They found my mama right down here. At the bottom of Apache Leap"; apparently, Jake killed Grace's alcoholic mother (he pushed her off the cliff at Apache Leap, the same way he had proposed killing Grace), although it was ruled an accident by the Sheriff (drunken insanity); Grace ended the story: "I'd never believe she ran off that cliff by accident. She was like me. She just wanted to fly away"; afterwards, her own incestuous father Jake forced Grace to marry him
• Grace was desperate to escape from her abusive husband Jake, but Bobby was broke ("If you could get money, I could get us out of here"); she claimed that Jake was hoarding money ($100,000 cash?) in a locked safe under the floorboards in their bedroom - annoyingly, he kept the safe's key on a chain around his neck: ("He keep it on him all the time. So it's slappin' up against me when we do it"); Bobby vowed to help Grace escape from Jake; when he asked how they could access the key, the vengeful Grace proposed simply: "Kill him"; she went further: "You could just come up behind him when he's asleep. Or when he's pounding on me..."; she begged: "I see it. It's in you. I see it in you. I see death. It's in your heart, like all for me. Please do it for me, Bobby. I'll do anything for you, anything"; he rejected her scheme and walked off back to town three miles away on his own
• while Bobby was sipping a soda on a bench, the crazed Indian blind man approached, babbling to himself and spouting odd and cryptic bits of wisdom: "I've seen peculiar things on a hot day"; after his rant, Bobby reacted - wondering if he was faking his disability: "You sure see a lot for a blind man"; the blind man answered: "Just 'cause I ain't got eyes doesn't mean I can't see.... We're all just eyes in the same head. Everything is everything....Everything is nothing, too"
• as Bobby walked away, he was spotted by the love-sick Jenny who thanked him for "defending her honor" and "fighting" for her earlier in the day; then Toby approached with more threats: "I'm gonna bust you up for good. I'm gonna take you and break you in a million pieces and take those pieces and break them into a million more! You don't even know me. I'm crazy, I'm psycho-crazy!"; Bobby mocked him: "Yeah, I know, you're TNT, and when you go off, somebody gets hurt"; Jenny enflamed Toby even further by telling him: "It don't matter to me if you beat him all up and knock out all his teeth, and he's just droolin' and bleedin' all over hisself, because we love each other and we gonna run off, and I'm gonna have his love child"; their struggle was broken up by the town's Sheriff Potter; Jenny bid Bobby goodbye as he walked off: "Bye, Mister. Don't go nowhere without me. I wanna have your love child"
• the distrusting Sheriff gave Bobby a ride back to Harlin's Garage, while hinting how he thought Bobby was behind all the recent problems in town: "Kind of peculiar how things happen, ain't it? A man's car breaks down. There's a robbery, people get killed. All that money, and now, now old Jake is out lookin' for his young wife. And then you show up. Time's runnin' out, son"
• at the garage, Bobby had another ugly confrontation with Darrell over his car's repair; the repair fee was now raised to $200 for additional work to replace a gasket; Bobby was exasperated, and challenged Darrell's reputation: "You're just an ignorant, inbred, tumbleweed hick"; Darrell deliberately scratched the car's hood with a crowbar during their argument, and also there was evidence that he had broken the lock on Bobby's trunk and stolen his gun
• at the bus depot ticket counter in town, Bobby went beserk about how he was about to be killed: ("I'm gonna do whatever I have to do to get out. What I'm tryin' to say, I have to get out of here!"), and he coerced the trembling clerk (Laurie Metcalf) to give him a one-way ticket (although he was $3 dollars short) to cross the border into Mexico, on a bus leaving at about 8 pm; as he left and crossed the street, Bobby was threatened first by Las Vegas Russian gangster Sergi speeding recklessly toward him (who was promptly arrested by the Sheriff for speeding and having a weapon), and then by TNT who punched him and kicked him from behind at a soda machine; Jenny appeared to defend Bobby against her boyfriend: ("I don't care what he does to you, we can still be together"), but then TNT stole his bus ticket, ripped it up, and ate it; Bobby pummeled TNT with intense rage, causing Jenny to switch allegiances and now defend TNT: "You're killing him!"

Jenny Defending Downed Bobby

TNT Chewing Up Bobby's Bus Ticket

• with no other alternative, Bobby called and made arrangements with Grace to rob Jake's floorboard-safe and then flee together from town: ("I came back for you....I've had nothin' but time to think, and it all comes back to you and me and us gettin' out of here. But we gotta get that money, baby. We get the money, I get the car, and we are the hell out"); he promised he'd do anything for her, including murder
• once the sun set, Bobby listened to the blind man's ramblings about fate and one's decisions in life: "The day ain't over yet. Night is part of day. You see things in the shadows, and you hear things in the dark...People fear what they can't see. I can't see nothin', so it's all the same to me"; he described the reason for his blindness: "And all because of a woman...I got smart with the wrong man's daughter. I got acid poured on my peepers for my trouble...She was worth it. She was worth every black minute since...Things ain't always what they seem. You gotta ask yourself. Is it worth it? Cause the day comes. The Earth Maker is gonna come down and look right in your f--kin' heart. And then you better know what it is you're doin'. Are you a human being or just some hungry ghost out there?"
• that night, Bobby entered the McKenna home through a back door left unlocked by Grace; he realized that Grace was making love on the bed with Jake entering her from behind, he abusively blamed her, as she asked for forgiveness: "You've been a bad girl, haven't you, Grace!...Oh, f--k it away, f--k it away! But it ain't ever gonna go away, 'cause your mama she won't go away, she won't leave you alone. Broke your mama's heart when you stole me. You've been a bad girl, Grace, you little bitch! Broke her heart"
• [Note: There was a momentary flash in which Grace's face was replaced by her mother's face during sex - in a disturbing flashback. Jake also envisioned the body of Grace's mother at the bottom of the cliff. And then Jake apologized to Grace - for murdering her mother, and sobbed: "Baby, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you so hard. It just got away. Forgive me."]
• they were interrupted having sex when Jake heard a noise (Bobby entering the house with a metal pipe), and he grabbed a gun; as Jake held the gun to Bobby's head, Bobby recognized it was his gun - sold to him by redneck Darrell: (Bobby: "You've been workin' me all the time, Jake!"); Jake punched Bobby in the face, and then held the gun to Bobby's head, forcing Bobby to claim that killing Jake was all Grace's idea: ("She wants you dead. She wants your money...You know what kind of woman Grace is, Jake...a woman who wants you dead"); Bobby stressed that all he wanted to do was leave town; he bargained that he would kill her for Jake for only $200 dollars ("Let me kill her!"); Bobby raced to the bedroom to kill Grace - who had heard their plotting, and then Bobby played dead on the bedroom floor to fool Jake (that Grace had killed him)

Jake McKenna Murdered (With a Tomahawk-Hatchet) by Grace and Bobby

• when Jake caught up to them in the room, he found Bobby on the floor and Grace holding a tomahawk-hatchet; from behind, Bobby struck Jake over the head with a golf club; as the growling Jake was grabbing Bobby from behind and putting him in a bear-hug, Grace gruesomely and vengefully struck Jake in the back with the tomahawk; Jake fought back as Bobby put him in a strangle-choke-hold from behind; Grace attacked a second time and embedded the weapon in Jake's chest; Bobby pried the tomahawk out of Jake and finished him off with another blow; immediately, Grace grabbed the key from Jake's chain and opened the floorboard safe filled with possibly $200,000 in cash; afterwards, Grace and Bobby made love next to the dead body: "Let him watch. I want him to know what he's missing"
• before leaving, Bobby visited Darrell's repair shop and paid cash for his car's repairs at the garage before returning to Grace's house in his own car; for a few moments, he suspected that Grace had deserted him, but she had only hidden the McKenna vehicles in the garage; as their car passed the "You are leaving Superior, AZ." sign, the two hugged and vowed their love for each other; Bobby was hopeful: "We're gonna pull this off, Grace"
• as they were escaping from town with Jake's body in the trunk, they were pulled over by an enraged Sheriff Virgil Potter wielding a gun - jealously shouting: "You had to f--k him, didn't you?"; immediately, the deceitful slutty Grace manipulatively 'played' the Sheriff like Bobby had tried to deceive Jake - she blamed Bobby for Jake's death; as another of Grace's lovers, Sheriff Potter felt betrayed and thought he had been dumped by Grace; she admitted that she had made love to Bobby, but never cared for him: ("He killed Jake and he said he'd kill me if I didn't come with him. All he wants is the money...But he never made me cum. Really Virgil, I was only doing what I had to do so we could be free. Just like we talk about. It meant nothing"); Bobby was flabbergasted and exclaimed: "You're f--kin' him too? Is everybody f--king everybody in this crazy goddamn town?"
• the Sheriff continued to ask about how Grace appeared to be double-crossing him - both sexually and financially ("You get him to do your dirty work and take the money and dump me!"); Grace told how she had a satchel full of Jake's cash that she had planned to bring to him ("I got the money right here"); the Sheriff was fuming about how he had waited years for Grace, and now he had caught her deserting him: "I watched you f--k that pervert for years. All the time, you was tellin' me you loved me. What about us goin' to Milwaukee together, gonna open up the finest sporting goods store that city ever did see? Just you and me, Grace. What happened?" Grace argued back: "All you do is talk, and all I do is sit around getting older waiting for you to free me, Virgil! You never did! (gesturing to Bobby) He did!"
• the Sheriff revealed how Grace had "a lot of practice" going way back to play him, Jake, Bobby and many others; and then he begged for her to be with him: "I don't want the f--kin' money. It's you. It's you, Grace, or nothin'. The whole thing. I want you to be my wife. What do you say, Grace?"; when she urged him to go back to his loving family, he felt obliged to tell Bobby about the real Grace: "Did she tell ya that story about wantin' to be that little bird flying away, huh?...Did she tell ya the story about how ol' Jake forced her to marry him? That's a good one, that one. And that's how he killed her crazy Mama" - then he revealed Grace's darkest secret: Grace was illegitimate, and had voluntarily engaged in consensual father-daughter incest, and that she was a dangerous killer: "And I've got a story she didn't tell ya, and it's the best one of all. Right, baby? You see, old crazy Jake was really her Papa. And she liked f--kin' her Papa! And now she's killed that sonufabitch, just like she's gonna kill you!"

Sheriff Virgil Potter Assaulting Bobby - Grace Blamed Him For Jake's Death

Sheriff Potter Was Shot and Killed by Double-Crossing Grace and Stashed in the Trunk

• incensed by the revelation of her sexual improprieties, Grace shot and killed the Sheriff with three bullets - the last one a direct hit to the head; now, two bodies were stashed in the trunk
• as they drove away, there were hallucinatory flashbacks of Grace having sex with Sheriff Potter and with her father; Bobby glanced at the gun lying between them - when she asked: "Aren't you gonna ask me?"; he was worried that he was next: ("About what, what horrifying, sick s--t is coming next?); she confessed: "Don't you really want to know? Was Jake my father? Was I f--kin' my -- ?...Yes, I was! I was f--kin' my Daddy! And I married him! I married him, okay? I just wanted to be a kid and he took that from me. They treated me like, like meat. A piece of meat. F--k them! F--k the whole town! They deserved to die!"
• as night turned to day, in the absurdist lethal ending at a cliffside (one of many false endings, also reminiscent of the conclusion of Duel in the Sun (1946)) where they were in the process of tossing the two dead bodies (first Sheriff Potter and then Jake) from the trunk off the edge, the untrusting Bobby pocketed his car keys and trunk key just in case; then as they bent over the trunk, he elbowed Grace in the face and took her gun; told her that he didn't trust her, and proposed that they split the money and then go their separate ways: ("We dump Jake, split the money, then you're on your own"); Grace defended herself, claiming that she only blamed Bobby for Jake's death to 'bait' him so she could get the upper hand over the Sheriff, but he didn't believe her: " I think you're a lyin', backstabbin', psycho bitch and one day you'll kill me"
• as they were dumping Jake's corpse, Grace pushed Bobby over the side, breaking his leg; as he laid at the bottom of the ravine between the other two dead bodies, Grace didn't realize that he had the ignition keys to the car in his pocket; she was forced to scramble down the steep incline to his side for the keys; as she climbed down, she kept assuring him: "It was different with you, Bobby. You had dreams, like me. We could still make this work. I didn't want to hurt you"; Bobby told her that he loved her, but after handing the keys to her, he strangled her to death as he again told her: "I don't know whether to love you - or kill you. I love you, Grace, but I can't trust you"; before she expired, she reached for the gun and shot Bobby in his right side
• after Bobby (with multiple broken bones and a gunshot wound) desperately struggled to get back up to the car on the ridge, he thought he had made it when he started the car and glanced over at the money; he told himself: "You're still lucky"; but then the radiator hose in his car busted again (he cried out: "Oh, s--t. Arizona"); laughing maniacally, as he was about to expire in the hot desert sun
