Synopsis

Biker gangs of decomposing corpses rode the highways of America, on the hunt for unsuspecting motorists… Take a front seat in the baddest nightmare in town. Superstar Izzy Stark has the power to make your dreams—and nightmares—come true. He's the master of disaster, the guru of gore, the doctor of doom, the duke of death and destruction—and you can't escape this command performance.
